   Sorry but I try to learn and after a failure and searching in vain for a   
   solution I ask here. I build my batches a step at a time ending in ECHO(   
   & CMD /K so I can look at the new results.   
      
   I am not asking here for a complete solution to my goal. The problem is   
   that the input file has SSIDs with blank names which I must fill in a   
   dummy name to eliminate following crashes.   
   - F:\_NW-B.txt is the input file example above   
   - F:\_NW-N.txt is a list of blank SSID names in _NW-B   
      
   I simplified by removal of %_NN% and:   
   - This current last one liner crashes the batch:   
   FOR /F "USEBACKQ TOKENS=1,2 DELIMS=:" %%A IN ("F:\_NW-B.txt") DO (IF   
   "%B"==" " ECHO %%A >> F:\_NW-N.txt)   
      
   - But this one liner works (same but %%A now %A) in Admin-CMD using the   
   batch result files:   
   FOR /F "USEBACKQ TOKENS=1,2 DELIMS=:" %A IN ("F:\_NW-B.txt") DO (IF   
   "%B"==" " ECHO %A >> F:\_NW-N.txt)   
      
   Why does it work in Admin-CMD BUT not in batch?
