first word from textfile into var??

Comment:

I've seen the post with the first line but still don't know how to deal with first word... I have a list with two columns and just want to use the first one (I need first word from each line)

This will use my.txt and set myvar equal to the first word. ::== set1var.bat @echo off > d.d >> d.d echo e 100 '2 ' >> d.d echo rcx >> d.d echo 2 >> d.d echo n 2 >> d.d echo w >> d.d echo q debug < d.d > nul copy /b 2+my.txt 1.bat > nul > 2.bat echo set myvar=%%1 call 1 del 1*.* del 2*.* del d.d :: DONE ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.
