The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Reformat a file in a batch file.

Asked by johanzn in MS DOS

Tags: dos, reformat, 321654687, file

Hi all,

I am working in a Win 2k/nt/xp environment.  Mainly 2k & nt.  What I need to do is reformat a saved
report so that I can change the headers of the reports.  The files are page-broke.  The problem is
some of them have a one, two or three line header and I need to make them a three line header.
The pages are fixed lines i.e.  They are only 50 lines long, but that can vary.  The lines themselves are
not fixed length.

The report file of one example is like this:

Demo Bank 06/05/03 12:42:49 Lg Cash Transcation Report
Threshold: $3,000.00
-------------------------------------
  Trans-Amt        Cash Out       Cash In    Sequcene
--------------------------------------
  7,350.00          7,350.00                         0000135330
         0.00             500.00                         0000165440
     ****************************************
  Account         Trans-Amt      Cash Out  Cash In
     ****************************************
  321654687     7,350.00      7,850.00
-------------------------
"next account"
.
.
{page break}Demo Bank 06/05/03 12:42:49 Lg Cash Transcation Report
.
.


What I need to be able to do is strip the "Demo Bank 06/05/03 12:42:49 Lg Cash Transcation Report"
line and replace it with a three line header to be more descriptive.  The page breaks don't
have to be the same in the reformat, just the information has to be there.

Thanks for your Help
Chris
