Make a batch file. yourtexthere.bat

Thanks for the replies. I am able to run using the batch file. But I think I made a mistake in putting my question. Hence trying to reframe the question properly. I want to insert some text ahead of a text file. The text file is having some data in a columnar format for e.x. 100 400 500 600 700 900 The above nos are just an example. It could be even data in form of words such as hi how hello Hence I want the data to appear as test 100 test 400 test 500 test 600 test 700 test 900 testhi test how test hello So kindly help me as how do I this.

So the text file already has a value on each line. That means we don't need to increment a number or anything like that, we just need to add "test" to the start of each line. @echo off set local for /f "tokens=*" %%a in (d.txt) do ( echo test %%a >> d_new.txt ) del /q d.txt ren d_new.txt d.txt endlocal

Thanks a ton. Its working. Now I have small problem or query. I need to some similar kind of text at the end of each line. So how do I add that text. If possible try to add the code in the above answer only so I have to work with just 1 batch file and also guide me as what each code is doing, so I can know accordingly.

@echo off set local REM looping through d.txt evaluating it line by line for /f "tokens=*" %%a in (d.txt) do ( REM writing to d_new.txt the string "test", the value of the current line from d.txt, and the string "similar_kind_of_text" echo test %%a similar_kind_of_text >> d_new.txt ) REM after loop is finished, deleting original d.txt del /q d.txt REM renaming d_new.txt to d.txt ren d_new.txt d.txt endlocal
