Hello,

I have a file (test.txt) and I need to add text as "wait" on alternate line on above test.txt file. Please some one help me how to do it in batch file.

Example:
TEST.TXT
Stephen Alex
Vince Richard
Harrison Andrew

If we add "WAIT" text, result should be
RETEST.TXT

Stephen Alex
WAIT
Vince Richard
WAIT
Harrison Andrew
WAIT


Thanks,
jdk981

@echo off > newfile

for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%a in (test.txt) do (
echo %%a >> newfile
echo WAIT >> newfile
)


=====================================
If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.
