Hi mechanix Didn't mention that the sentence contain multiple comma and multiple < > symbols The symbols seems to mess with the code u provide. Tried ( ) the sentence but not valid

Put the sentence in a file called SENTENCE and use this: ================================================= @echo off & setLocal EnableDELAYedeXpansion for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%a in ('dir/b/a-d *.txt') do ( copy sentence new > nul for /f "skip=1 tokens=* delims= " %%i in (%%a) do ( >> new echo.%%i ) move /y new %%a ) ===================================== Helping others achieve escape felicity M2

Hi Mechanix, Create a text file call sentence and input <name>,<per>,<koo> in the first line Create a batch file with the code u provide All in the same folder However the <name>,<per>,<koo> didn't input into the text files instead the first line was deleted and the rows are move to first line Also only text files with name without space in the name are processed. Text file with space in the name are not processed in the first line
