Using the dsquery command I create lists of what groups a user has. This looks something like this: "CN=App1,OU=User Groups,OU=Unit,DC=directory,DC=local" "CN=App2,OU=User Groups,OU=Unit,DC=directory,DC=local" "CN=Domain Server Ops,OU=Migrate Groups,OU=User Groups,OU=Unit,DC=directory,DC=local" "CN=Domain Account Ops,OU=Migrate Groups,OU=User Groups,OU=Unit,DC=directory,DC=local" I want this output to be put in one line, divided bij a semicolon (;). How can I accomplish this in cmd?

@echo off > newfile setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%a in (myfile) do ( set s=!s!%%a; ) echo !s:~0,-1!>> newfile ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

Nice! Works great! What if I'd want to keep the multiple lines but add a set variable in front of each line, followed by the semicolon and the rest of the line?

@echo off > newfile setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion set myvar=this for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%a in (myfile) do ( echo !myvar!%%a;>>newfile ) ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2
