   Replace line in a txt file with missing

   Windows 10 Pro   
      
   My sample.txt is similar to the following up to 50 lines:   
   SSID 1 : Residents 5   
   SSID 2 : HSL2   
   SSID 3 : AscomI62   
   SSID 4 : Guest   
   SSID 5 : ResidentsA   
   SSID 6 : ResidentsB   
   SSID 7 :   
   SSID 8 : XFINITY   
   SSID 9 : A440   
      
   "FOR /D %%S IN ..." then scans sample.txt for specific names to make   
   result.txt.   
   --PROBLEM: If a line has nothing after "SSID nn :" then my batch exits.   
      
   The sequence of numbers must be complete and I have tried many ways but   
   failed to replace any random line without an "SSID nn :" entry with   
   "SSID nn : None".   
      
   Any suggestions?
