I need to extract the version number from this C# source line using MSDOS batch file:
public const int major_version = 2;
My attempt:
:: Extract the number-token from the major version string.
:: The number-token has a semicolon appended.
for /F "tokens=6" %%a in ( str_Major_REV) do set number_token=%%a
This results in the variable number_token as 2;.
How can I remove the ';'?
{The ';' is used as a line separator by the delims parameter.}
Background:
The batch file is run by Jenkins build server. I want the batch file to:
- Extract the number.
- Increment the number and save as environment / batch file variable.
- Replace the original number with the incremented number.
- Use the number in a folder name.
- Use the number in a Code Management System version/label.
Items 4 and 5 are reasons I need the semicolon removed from the number token.
Environment
Windows server 2008

delimscontaining semicolon works fine for me on Vista, which should be the same as 2008, and is not a 'line separator' (2) To remove the last character%number_token:~0,-1%(3) To remove semicolon anywhere%number_token:;=%– dave_thompson_085 – 2018-05-04T05:01:27.357A much easier way is a for loop
for %%A in (%str_Major_Rev%) do @set "number_token=%%A"Space, semocolon, comma, tab are all argument seperators. The loop wil set all items, but the last will stay. – LotPings – 2018-05-04T08:37:41.073
