Try this: ::== firstLIN.bat @echo off if %1'==' echo which file? && goto :eof set DONE==N for /f "tokens=*" %%L in (%1) do call :1 %%L goto :eof :1 if %DONE%==Y goto :eof echo %*>outFILE set DONE=Y goto :eof :eof :: DONE The :eof declaration is not necessary; it's built into NT. [Just my old habits.] If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2Go
