[batch] obtaining owner ( tokens, delims )

[0318]

hello.
when i run a script to obtain the owner of a file, i get more then only the owner.
here an example of a output:
BUILTIN\Administrator

or

Domain\MyUsername

u must know, i only need the username offcourse, thats the owner. so let say all users will be obtained like 'Domain\Username' then 'Domain\' must be deleted..
i guess that happends with codes like tokens and delims but i dont know anything about that. can someone give me a example.?

Hello 0318,

Suppose the %ownerspec% is the name of the variable holding the owner in the form of domain\username, then you can store the strip down info username in %ownername% like this:

for /f "token=2 delims=\" %%u in ('%ownerspec%') do set ownername=%%v

It is for batch file, else use % instead of doubling up.
