Batch Script - Remove Both Ends

Last Updated : 28 Nov, 2021

In this article, we are going to learn how to remove characters from both ends of any given string using Batch Script.

Code :

@echo off 
set str=Geeks for Geeks
echo %str% 

set str=%str:~1,-1% 
echo %str%
pause

By using ' set ' we are getting input of any string

set str=input string

In the next line using ' echo %str% ' we are printing our string.
Now in the next line using indexing we are going to eliminate characters from both ends.
General representation - set str=%string:~start,end%
- In the above representation '~start, end' will remove all characters after any given index.
For removing characters from both ends we are using start = 1 and end = -1, which is the index of the first and last character of any string.

Output :

Output: G and s is removed from input string.

As we can clearly see that characters from both ends are removed, so using the following code we can remove both ends from any given string.
