I am trying to create a batch file that removes tel: from a number

  • 0

I am trying to create a batch file that removes “tel:” from a number and then passes it to a softphone to call. For example, tel:1234567890 would pass through as 1234567890. I was advised to use the following:

@echo off
set "URI=%~1"
set "URI=%URI:tel:=%"
somecommand %URI%

I implemented it like this:

@echo off 
set "URI=%~1"
set "URI=%URI:tel:=%"
"E:\Program Files\qutecom\qutecom.exe" -c call/%1 %URI%

The softphone dials the number, but the “tel:” is still there. Can someone help me figure out what is going wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I think you want to remove the %1 from the last line.

    “E:\Program Files\qutecom\qutecom.exe” -c call/%URI%
