Reading from a csv file and extracting certain data columns based on first column value

Question

This is my first batch program and I have been searching online but still struggling to write up a solution.

I have the following CSV file:

\"RH\",2013/0         


        

Answer 1

You need to enable delayed expansion:

@echo off

setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion

set "_InputFile=..."

for /f "tokens=1-18* delims=," %%A in (%_InputFile%) do (
  Set _var1=%%A
  Set _var2=%%B
  ...

  if "!_var1!"=="RH" echo !_var2!
)
