Hello, i would like to write a DOS Batch script to create a multiple files based on the values from a single file mainfile.txt (For instance, mainfile.txt has 5 values as A200001 A200002 B200101 C200101 C200201 I need a dos batch script to create five files with below names and it values are also same File name - Its value A200001.txt - A200001 A200002.txt - A200002 B200101.txt - B200101 C200101.txt - C200101 C200201.txt - C200201 mainfile.txt may have any values and may have any no. values. Could some one please assist me on this? Thanks for your help

What is a file's "value"? ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

Values --- I mean, the content of the file; File (mainfile.txt) has records as A200001 A200002 B200101 C200101 C200201 and would like to create different files based on the content of mainfile.txt

Untested... @echo off cls for /f %%1 in (mainfile.txt) do ( echo %%1>%%1.txt ) exit/b

Thanks, It worked. But, actual requirement is as below... I am able to do this on Unix with the help of other person. But is someting posible in windows batch??? Here is the detail example: I have a textfile and four static parameter files (having ‘?’). mainfile.txt has below records (this count may be more than 50) A200001 A200101 B200001 B200002 C200001 D200101 D200102 D200201 And 4 static parameter files corresponding to records in mainfile.txt, started with A,B,C,D 1.audit_paramter.prm [PQRS.temp_info] $$Source_file_audit=? $$Source_file_audit_dir = \\dal1mspcx55\cogent$\productionqc\?\? 2.borrower_paramter.prm [PQRS.temp_info] $$Source_file_borrower =? $$Source_file_borrower_dir = \\dal1mspcx55\cogent$\productionqc\?\? 3.carriage_paramter.prm [PQRS.temp_info] $$Source_file_carriage =? $$Source_file_carriage_dir = \\dal1mspcx55\cogent$\productionqc\?\? 4.document_paramter.prm [PQRS.temp_info] $$Source_file_document =? $$Source_file_document_dir = \\dal1mspcx55\cogent$\productionqc\?\? Now I would like to create different parameter files based on the records from mainfile.txt and using static parameter files If records starts with A, it should create audit_paramter_*.prm such as audit_paramter_A200001.prm [PQRS.temp_info] $$Source_file_audit=A200001 $$Source_file_audit_dir = \\dal1mspcx55\cogent$\productionqc\2000\A200001 audit_paramter_A200101.prm [PQRS.temp_info] $$Source_file_audit=A200101 $$Source_file_audit_dir = \\dal1mspcx55\cogent$\productionqc\2001\A200101 If records starts with b, it should create borrower_paramter_*.prm and so on.. like 8 different parameter files??? Would this possible do with sed / scripting??? Can someone please assist? I can replace ‘?’ with other symbols to differentiate two different values or we can create new paramter values with our using exsiting (which i did in unix) Thanks in advance
