Comment:

I have a text file and the first line is a number. How can I get this number assigned to a variable inside a batch file?

Hi gman8 Change "set Num=%%a & set Num & exit /b" to "set Num=%%a & & exit /b" if you dont the variable Num displayed on screen. Below is all one line. @echo off for /f "tokens=1 delims= " %%a in (GetNum.txt) do set Num=%%a & set Num & exit /b
