Hi,<\/p>\n

Can you please help me<\/p>\n

I am trying to Create a Batch file what would read multiple files from a folder and copy only the first and last lines from each file to a New text or csv file.<\/p>\n

The file extension differs as some of them are .log and some are .txt<\/p>\n

I Have 2 batch files that would read first and last lines separately but I am not able to combine them; so that I have the file name, first line and Last line in a single line with pipe delimiter;<\/p>\n

Any pointers would greatly be appreciated!<\/p>\n

Thanks to Various Post in this forum I was able to find the below code<\/p>\n

Header Batch:::
\n(
\nfor %%a in (*.txt) do (
\nset “first=”
\nfor \/f “usebackq delims=” %%b in (“%%a”) do if not defined first (
\necho(“%%a |” %%b
\nset first=Y
\n)
\n))>%~DP0\\Onlyheaderoutput.csv<\/p>\n

Footer Batch::::
\n(
\nfor %%F in (*.txt) do (
\n<nul set \/p “=%%F |”
\nfor \/f %%N in (‘type “%%F”^|find \/c \/v “”‘) do set \/a skip=%%N
\nif !skip! gtr 0 set \/a skip-=1
\nmore +!skip! “%%F”
\n)
\n)>> %~DP0\\Onlyfooteroutput.csv<\/p>\n
