Simple string search and replace question

[Don84]

Hi,

I have a short one line text file which includes double quotes and a
digit, e.g.
"1", or "0"
How do I get the digit or remove the quotes?

Thanks.

::----- START -----
For /f "tokens=*" %%a In (PathTo\file.txt) Do @Echo/%%~a
::------ END ------

you should , next time, try and start to write some code before
posting.

here's a vbscript

Set objFS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
WScript.Echo Replace(objFS.OpenTextFile("c:\test
\file.txt").ReadAll,"""","")

[sw0rdfish]

are you sure it works?

[Don84]

It works perfectly on one XP sp3 box while I received "%%a was
unexpected at this time" on another XP sp3. Odd. thks, what could
cause that?

Timo, I can't wait for the day that you add "PowerShell aided solutions" to your
webpages.

Not in the plans at the moment and probably not in the near future.
But in case someone does not know what that is about, see e.g.
