batch: ignore last line of an output

batch-file, windows

Solution

I can think of two simple solutions:

FOR /F "skip=6" %%G IN ('net localgroup administrators')  DO if %%G neq The echo %%G

or

FOR /F "skip=6" %%G IN ('net localgroup administrators ^| findstr /vb The')  DO echo %%G

I suppose one could argue a user name could be "The", in which case you can be more precise with the filter:

FOR /F "skip=6" %%G IN ('net localgroup administrators ^| findstr /vc:"The command completed successfully."')  DO echo %%G

Problem

I have a pretty basic script that echos local administrator accounts. My goal is to get rid of all of the header/footer information. So far I have: ``` FOR /F "skip=6" %%G IN ('net localgroup administrators') DO echo %%G ``` Which echos: ``` Administrator MyName The ``` "The" being the first word in the footer: "The command completed successfully." So I'd like to get rid of "The" but I understand that I may have to restructure the entire script, which is fine. I have tried saving to a variable %str% but you can't set multi-line variables. Also, using a txt file as a buffer is not an option. Any input?
