Comment:

Dear all, I need help. Is there a way to redirect command output to variable. An output is a text string and has space bar. Example is file a.txt has a content "AB CD EF" Can I type a.txt and reirect output to %A%? set %A%=type a.txt is not work. Thankyou verymuch

Your question is solved by For /F (again!) @Echo Off For /F "tokens=* delims=" %%A in ('Type a.txt') Do Set MyVar=%%A Echo [%MyVar%] chaining statements and managing variables is mostly achieved through that command. A must to build effective value scripts.
