Get Mean amplitude(only) of .wav from sox

C:\Program Files\sox-14-4-0>sox Sample.wav -n stat

The above code gives below result

Now i need only Mean amplitude. How to do that?

There are a few ways.

Method 1:

"C:\Program Files\sox-14-4-0\sox" Sample.wav -n stat | find "Mean    amplitude: " > %TMP%\amp.tmp
set /p meanAMP=<%TMP%\amp.tmp
set meanAMP=%meanAMP:*:     =%
del %TMP%\amp.tmp
echo %meanAMP%

Method 2:

for /f "tokens=1-3" %%x in ('"%ProgramFiles%\sox-14-4-0\sox" Sample.wav -n stat') do (
  if "%%x %%y"=="Mean amplitude:" set meanAMP=%%z
)
echo %meanAMP%

Fastest:

Method 3:

for /f "skip=7 tokens=1-3" %%x in ('"%ProgramFiles%\sox-14-4-0\sox" Sample.wav -n stat') do (
  if "%%x %%y"=="Mean amplitude:" set meanAMP=%%z
)
echo %meanAMP%

Method 4:

for /f "tokens=1-3" %%x in ('"%ProgramFiles%\sox-14-4-0\sox" Sample.wav -n stat ^| find "Mean    amplitude:"') do (
  set meanAMP=%%z
)
echo %meanAMP%

I suspect that method 3 will be the fastest because:

Method 1 uses a lot of steps, including the external program find, the creation, access and deletion of a temporary file, and the redefinition of a variable.

Method 2 examines all the output of SOX.

Method 4 uses the external program find which slows down execution.

Method 3 actually skips the first 7 lines of output from SOX and THEN begins to evaluate the output.

NOTE: Methods 2-4 can all be done on a single line, just remove the ( and ).

EDIT: Fixed some errors in the code.

NOTE: To use from the command prompt Method 1 should work as-is. Methods 2-4 require changing all %%'s to %'s.

For example, you can paste this directly into cmd:

for /f "skip=7 tokens=1-3" %%x in ('"%ProgramFiles%\sox-14-4-0\sox" Sample.wav -n stat') do (
  if "%x %y"=="Mean amplitude:" set meanAMP=%z
)
echo %meanAMP%

Notice that this is almost an exact copy of method 3, except I changed %%x, %%y and %%z into %x, %y and %z respectively.
