I need to get from a file only the first line and to write it into other file-only using DOS commands.Till now I have managed to get the entire content of the file using a command like: FOR /F "usebackq tokens=1,* delims=$" %%i in ("file1.txt") do ( echo %%i>>"file2.txt" ) How can I take only the first line and not the whole content? Thanks a lot for any info regarding this issue!
