Removing anything from text file except specific string
So, I have a text file that looks like this:

Code:
0,0: (168,168,176)  #A8A8B0  srgb(168,168,176)
1,0: (168,168,176)  #A8A8B0  srgb(168,168,176)
2,0: (166,166,174)  #A6A6AE  srgb(166,166,174)
3,0: (166,166,174)  #A6A6AE  srgb(166,166,174)
4,0: (168,168,176)  #A8A8B0  srgb(168,168,176)
5,0: (168,168,176)  #A8A8B0  srgb(168,168,176)
6,0: (168,168,176)  #A8A8B0  srgb(168,168,176)
7,0: (168,168,176)  #A8A8B0  srgb(168,168,176)
8,0: (168,168,176)  #A8A8B0  srgb(168,168,176)

I want to remove everything from each line EXCEPT the # and the 6 characters that follow

*CONDITION:
I don't want to use Sed, grep or any other linux tools.
(I don't hate them, I just simply would love to get this done with DOS only.)

Any help is appreaciated

EDIT:
This thread can be closed

Code:
findstr # out.txt >> res.txt

does the trick

aggregate-ios

AGGREGATE-IOS(1)					      General Commands Manual						  AGGREGATE-IOS(1)

NAME

       aggregate-ios - optimise a concatenated set of cisco/IOS prefix filters to help make them nice and short.

SYNOPSIS

       aggregate-ios <source_config >optimised_config

DESCRIPTION

       Takes  cisco IOS configuration on stdin, and optimises any prefix filters found using aggregate(1).  Optimised filters are produced on std-
       out.

OPTIONS

       None.

DIAGNOSTICS

       Any diagnostics produced by aggregate(1) are passed through on stderr.

EXAMPLES

       The following configuration fragment:

	 ip prefix-list AS65530 description Foo, Inc
	 ip prefix-list AS65530 permit 10.1.0.0/16
	 ip prefix-list AS65530 permit 10.2.0.0/16
	 ip prefix-list AS65530 permit 10.2.1.0/24
	 ip prefix-list AS65530 permit 10.3.0.0/16
	 ip prefix-list AS65531 description Bar.Com
	 ip prefix-list AS65531 seq 5 permit 192.168.1.0/24
	 ip prefix-list AS65531 seq 10 permit 192.168.2.0/24
	 ip prefix-list AS65531 seq 15 permit 192.168.0.0/19

       is optimised as follows:

	 ip prefix-list AS65530 permit 10.1.0.0/16 le 24
	 ip prefix-list AS65530 permit 10.2.0.0/15 le 24
	 ip prefix-list AS65531 permit 192.168.0.0/19 le 24

BUGS

       All those in aggregate(1) and then some :)
