   But in this case you should really open a CMD window, CD to the directory   
   with the batch and start the batch with batchname.bat because then the   
   CMD window remains open after the batch has finished.

   I don't think your batch crashes, but it just ends without   
   finding an SSID without a name. Insert a   
      
   echo start batch > F:\_NW-N.txt   
      
   at the beginning of the batch and a   
      
   echo end batch >> F:\_NW-N.txt   
      
   at the end of the batch to make sure the batch doesn't crash.

   SSID 6 : ResidentsB   
   SSID 7 :   
      
   In my input file I have no space after the colon in "SSID 7 :".   
   If in your input file is a space, then you have to use   
   IF "%%B"==" "

   Is this line wrap done by your news reader or is it done this   
   way in your batch file (then you have to move the "IF" on the next line).

   If I insert a space after "SSID 7 :" and use IF "%%B"==" " then the   
   batch also works. _NW-N.txt is created correctly.
