   When I must frequently test a batch as I develop it I add an icon to the   
   desktop. In this case it is set to run as administrator and produces the   
   same results as running from the actual file location.   
      
   For the tests I have my normal @ECHO OFF rem'd out so errors should show   
   and I have a PAUSE as the cmd before the one in question.   
      
   I ran three tests and it appears that {IF "%B"==" "} is the problem   
   because the first two tests crash. Note that the last shows %B is " " is   
   the value when the name does not exist.   
      
   FOR /F "USEBACKQ TOKENS=1,2 DELIMS=:" %%A IN ("F:\_NW-B.txt") DO (   
   IF "%B"==" " ECHO %%A >> F:\_NW-N.txt)   
      
   FOR /F "USEBACKQ TOKENS=1,2 DELIMS=:" %%A IN ("F:\_NW-B.txt") DO (IF   
   "%B"==" " ECHO "%%A"  "%%B")   
      
   FOR /F "USEBACKQ TOKENS=1,2 DELIMS=:" %%A IN ("F:\_NW-B.txt") DO (ECHO   
   "%%A"  "%%B")   
      
   If you are willing run the last cmd against your input file and see if   
   your "%B" is "" or " ". If "" could you add spaces where the names are   
   blank and retest?   
      
   The purpose of the batch is to collect Wi-Fi SSIDs that my system sees   
   and make a list of those I have passwords for. All works OK except when   
   an SSID has no name and the following cmds delete that SSID and replace   
   it with the same SSID with a dummy name. I tested by manually adding   
   names in _NW-B.txt and the present problem is all that remains to solve.
