Provided the text is stored in a file test.txt
In a cmd window use
for /F "delims=|" %A in ('findstr "|" test.txt') Do @echo %A
In a batch file:
:: Q:Test2019125SU_1398481.cmd
@Echo off
for /F "delims=|" %%A in ('findstr "|" test.txt') Do @echo %%A
Sample output:
> Q:Test2019125SU_1398481.cmd
aaaaaaaaaaaa
bbbbbbbbbbbb
cccccccccccc
dddddddddddd
- the
for /fcommand parses the output of findstr, which only selects lines containing the vertical bar|
"delims=|"in combination with the default"tokens=1"assign the for variable%%Athe content between the vertical bars which the echo outputs.
In a program like Notepad++ you could use a RegEx to select the Text between the |
Search : (?m)^.*?(?<=|)([^|]+?)(?=|).*$
Replace: $1
You'd need another one to remove the lines without vertical bars.
