Get the UUID of a computer using batch file and store it into a text file

Question

I used these lines in a batch file:

@echo off
start  cmd /k "wmic csproduct get uuid"

to get the UUID of my computer.

I want to store the result into a text file. Is it possible and how?

Answer 1

This should work

@echo off
start  cmd /k "wmic csproduct get uuid > C:\temp\yourfile.txt"

Answer 2

for /f "skip=1delims=" %%a in ('wmic csproduct get uuid') do set "uuid=%%a"&goto gotuuid
:gotuuid
echo "%uuid%"

The skip=1 skips the first wmic line-output (which contains the literal "UUID"); the variables is set to the contents of the next line and the goto ensures that just one line is processed.

Answer 3

The output is usually padded with trailing spaces up to a defined length.

Try this:

@Echo Off
For /F "Skip=1 Delims=" %%A In ('WMIC CSProduct Get UUID'
) Do For %%B In (%%A) Do Call :Sub %%A
Exit/B

:Sub
(Echo %*)>MyUUID.txt
