Answer Wiki:
You may want to look into using the FOR command to process the SID.txt file line by line looking for the line which doesn't end in .DEFAULT. Something like (this isn't tested): <pre>FOR /F "delims= skip=1 tokens1,2" %%a in (SID.txt) do echo %%b > SID.txt</pre>

Add a line that filters using the FIND command to exclude lines with a specific string in them.

type SID.txt | find /v /i “default” >ONLY_SID.txt

The /v tells FIND to ignore the string “default” and the /i makes it case insensitive.
