Hello, I want to run a batch file every couple of hours, that will take the input from a text file and put it into a field in a command I want to run. This is the command I want to run in the batch file for every line in a txt file: logevent -r "TEST" -e "123" "sample message for event" The line that says "sample message for event", I want to replace that for each line in this txt file example: 2007-03-02 15:26:15 WARNING Intrusion (Bad) failed 2007-03-02 15:26:15 WARNING Power (Bad) failed 2007-03-06 19:01:27 WARNING Intrusion (Bad) failed 2007-03-06 19:01:27 WARNING Power (Bad) failed So it would turn out like this example: logevent -r "TEST" -e "123" "2007-03-06 19:01:27 WARNING Power (Bad) failed" Since I am doing it every couple hours, there will me potentially multiple entries. How can I get these txt file lines in the batch file command, entered as seperate lines? Then I planned to use task scheduler to fire it off every couple hours.

@echo off setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%a in (my.txt) do ( echo logevent -r "TEST" -e "123" "%%a" ) ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2
