are you hard set on using cmd and not powershell? Is combining the 2 scripts into one a possibility? As-is, you can append all the data to a text file and then read it in on the second bat and delete the file after it processes the variables.– NarzardCommented Oct 27, 2022 at 19:50

Unfortunately I can't merge the scripts (I wish I could) and I can't use powershell either (it doesn't go with my environment). I am trying with fart-it program and it has worked very well for this purpose (sourceforge.net/projects/fart-it), but I would like to know if there is another solution (in batch, cmd) that does not depend on external programs.– acgboxCommented Oct 28, 2022 at 13:21

You're right, but it should be a definite replacement, with data, not other variables– acgboxCommented Oct 28, 2022 at 15:09

1@VomitIT-ChunkyMessStyle. There was no need for you to remove your post as your answer is pretty close to what I'm looking for– acgboxCommented Oct 28, 2022 at 20:37

Okay, I undeleted it since you said it was close and should not have been deleted—I thought I was way off. I deleted some of my other comments, but if interested in 100% pure batch executed script with PowerShell helper logic that gets executed within a batch script, let me know and I can append another variation to my answer with that. Maybe your systems restrict powershell.exe though or you aren't aware powershell.exe can be used in a batch script just like sed or fart can but it more robust and Windows native with no 3rd party needed. Just let me know and I'll be happy to try to help more.– Vomit IT - Chunky Mess StyleCommented Oct 28, 2022 at 21:05

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
