If you just want to see what's in the file, use this:
type logname
If you want to set a var:
set /p myvar=<logname

You said:

Do you really mean to use %log%? Or is it a mistake? %log% will expand to the content of the vairable log. If you want to set a variable by the name log use: set /p log=<logname
