Hi,
I want to store variables in a temp file and to be able to call those variables for usage in the batch file.

Im not sure how to manipulate the FOR command for this. I want to be able to store variables in that temp file and also I want to be able to search the temp file for the variable.

My plan for the temp file is as follows:
------
VARIABLES:
INT1: VAR1
INT2: VAR2
CHAR1: VAR3
CHAR2: VAR4
------
Any help regardless of the FOR command usage would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx for you help :)

I noticed you are using int and char datatypes. Batch scripts do not use special datatypes and are not defined in the script.

Thanx for your comments tonysathre,
The datatypes are only for my reference. When i create a local variable within a batch script i like to be as discriptive as possible. It just lets me know what the variable is used for throughout the script.

Is your goal to set, for instance:

INT1=VAR1

?

A better example than the one above would be:
---%temp%\~atempfile.tmp
VARIABLES
Date=%date%
Time=%time%
Name=%stringName%
---
I want to store variables, from batch file execution, into a temp file and call those variables back into the batch file when requested.
Im having trouble putting the variables where I would like them to go, for example the variables %stringName% to be placed after the Name= in the temp file.
Im also having trouble storing those variable values into "fresh" variables in the batch script.

With those lines in myfile.tmp you can:

for /f "tokens=*" %%V in (%TEMP%\myfile.tmp) do set %%V

BTW, reassigning built-in vars lije TIME and DATE is generally not a good idea.
