Oracle POC - how to include variable in data source and reference it

Question

from style sheet? We need to automatically print Supplier name on Oracle Contract Terms Template signatures section. Presently it needs to be entered by hand and it is not optimal because Supplier name exists on a purchasing document.
Thanks in advance!

It's not very intuitive to do this sort of thing in a batch file. If you have the option to use PowerShell instead, I'd highly recommend it. It's the new way for performing command-line tasks in Windows, and there's no need to struggle with the old command
prompt anymore.
Here are PowerShell and batch examples of doing this type of string parsing:
# PowerShell:
$dataDirectory = Get-Content .\test.txt |
ForEach-Object {
if ($_ -match '^\s*data directory\.*:\s*(.+?)\s*$')
$matches[1]
break
$dataDirectory
# Batch file:
@echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set DATA_DIRECTORY=
for /F "tokens=1,* delims=:" %%a in (test.txt) do (
set PROPERTY=%%a
set PROPERTY=!PROPERTY:~0,14!
if /I "!PROPERTY!" equ "data directory" (
set DATA_DIRECTORY=%%b
:RemovingSpaces
if "%DATA_DIRECTORY:~0,1%" neq " " goto :SpacesRemoved
set DATA_DIRECTORY=%DATA_DIRECTORY:~1%
goto :RemovingSpaces
:SpacesRemoved
echo %DATA_DIRECTORY%
endlocal
