I have a directory with 10 *.xml files. I need to read all the files into a string. This should be the output:
a.xml, b.xml, c.xml
This is what I have done on 2k and it works but I am unable to do the same in NT:

cd C:\
dir *.xml /b > xmlDir.txt
SET string1=
for /F "tokens=1" %%i in (xmlDir.txt) do SET string1=%%i, !string1!
echo %string1%
