Hi, I need to parse a text file like this one

process.exe; process name
process1.exe; process1 name
...........

so I need to asign a name for a process

I need to search another text file for a process and if exists to tell the application name using this process.

the thing I do not get is how to seperate the words with the (;) and put them in different variables %process% and %process_name%.

Thank you

@echo off
setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion

for /f "tokens=1-2 delims=;" %%a in (myfile) do (
set process=%%a & set process_name=%%b
echo !process! !process_name!
)

If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.

You wrote the CMD right? :)

Thank you

sorry for the spam but .. still .. one more issue,each process should be searched in a third file and if exist echo process name

smt like
for /f "tokens=1-2 delims=;" %%a in (myfile) do
( type third.file | find ^/%%a )
if errorlevel 1
echo process name ( %%b )

else
goto somewhere

not clear what's needed
