I want to create vars from txtfile with multiple lines..

txtfile (directories.txt) looks like..

C:\test\00010010
C:\test\00010020
C:\test\00010030

(dir %1 /AD /B /S > directories.txt)..

I want to make a var per line in my batch script

another solution could be to create the vars directly instead of producing the txtfile..?

anyone? and thanks in advance!

Begin your batch by coding

@echo off & setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion

then

set N=0
for /F "delims=" %%j in ('dir "%~1" /AD /B /S') do (
  set /A N+=1
  set var!N!=%%j 
)

for /L %%j in (1 1 %N%) do echo.!var%%j!
