Why “ECHO is off” is printed?

I am expecting to receive just an output "NO User exists for *" after running this code:



FOR /F "tokens=* delims= " %%A IN ('C:windowsSystem32query.exe user /server:<some_IP_address>') DO SET NumDoc1=%%A

echo %NumDoc1%


But I keep getting:



No User exists for * 

ECHO is off.


How do I get rid of "ECHO is off" from my output?



Thanks

    Must mean your environment variable is blank.

  • Why are you asking for all tokens, but then delimiting on spaces?

When no users are found, the output is being sent to Standard Error. The FOR command is just capturing Standard Output. So you need to redirect Standard Error to Standard output.



for /f "delims=" %%G IN ('"query user /server:servername 2>&1"') do set NumDoc1=%%G

You are echoing the current echo status because your variable is empty.



Try this instead:



echo NumDoc1:%NumDoc1%

  • I tried your way, and it just displays this now: No User exists for * NumDoc1:
    – JerryH
    Nov 9 at 0:06












  • That is the expected outcome. This is because NumDoc1 contains no value. I understand the ECHO is off. status message no longer appears?
