Examples, Notes and Instructions
Example 1 - Remove outer quotes from the contents of a variable
|
NTCmdLib $DEQUOT
VariableName |
Output is in %VariableName%
Example 2 - Remove outer quotes from a literal string
|
NTCmdLib $DEQUOT
"Quoted String" |
Output is in %_DEQUOT%
Notes
- DO NOT enclose VariableName in a "second set" of quotes when calling $DEQUOT.
|
NTCmdLib $DEQUOT
"VariableName" |
will effectively do nothing. VariableName will be treated as a literal string and %_DEQUOT% will contain the
literal text "VariableName".
- Output is displayed to STDOUT, errors to STDERR
- To suppress console display, use the library GlobalSwitch /Quiet (or simply /q)
