✔ Best Answer

If your file looks like: x=abc z=qwerty :: ===== script starts here =============== :: :: vfromt.bat 2012-07-23 14:45:04.17 @echo off > newfile & setLocal enableDELAYedeXpansioN for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%a in (my.txt) do ( set %%a ) set goto :eof ::====== script ends here ================= ==================================== Life is too important to be taken seriously.

the contents of my.txt x=abc z=qwerty using the script above "vfromt.bat" (from Mechanix2Go) It loops through my.txt and pulls the lines in to be stored in %%a then each time it pulls said line it uses the set %%a to assign a variable so for example the ::first time through it changes set %%a to set x=abc ::then the second loop set %%a to set z=qwerty You could technically do this with any command I suppose. :: mike
