[SOLVED] How to remove a part of a string with batch script?

How to remove a part of a string with batch script?

I want to remove a part of this code: set hash=certutil -hashfile %%A MD5. I mean that I need to remove MD5 hash of cmd.exe: and CertUtil: -hashfile command completed successfully. from the output of this code.

my full code ( it is an antivirus but not complete yet... ):

For /f "tokens=*" %%A in ('dir /b /s') do (
      set hash=certutil -hashfile %%A MD5
      findstr %hash% C:\Users\Sepehr\Desktop\data.txt && (
      echo %%A is Infected!
      echo Deleting %%A
      del /f /q %%A
      ) || (
      echo %%A is Clean!
      )
)
pause

No idea how to remove those parts?

Solution

Both lines you want to remove contain a colon (language independent), so you can filter your hash with find /v ":". Then simply look that up in your data.txt with `findstr /g:"":

For /r "C:\" "delims=" %%A in (*) do (
  certutil -hashfile "%%A" MD5|find /v ":"|findstr /G:"C:\Users\Sepehr\Desktop\data.txt" && (
    echo hash is stored for %%A
  ) || (
    echo hash is unknown for %%A
  )
)

There certainly is room for improvement, but this is a working skeleton.

A word of advice: Don't delete "infected" files, at least not in the Windows and Program folders (and double-check in other locations as well)! You might make your system unusable (and remove any new or intentionally changed files).
