Windows Batch: Set Variables from Text File
Here ya go! Have fun with this one.
(set /p var1=set /p var2=set /p var3=)<Filename.txtLands you with the same results!
The FOR /F loop command can be used to read lines from a text file:
@echo offsetlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSIONset vidx=0for /F "tokens=*" %%A in (sites.txt) do ( SET /A vidx=!vidx! + 1 set var!vidx!=%%A)set varYou end up with:
var1=http://website1.comvar2=http://website2.comvar3=http://website3.com
Based on @Andres' answer, in case anyone is looking only for the values of the variables as an output:
@echo offsetlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSIONset vidx=0for /F "tokens=*" %%A in (sites.txt) do ( SET /A vidx=!vidx! + 1 set var!vidx!=%%A)for /L %%I in (1,1,%vidx%) do (echo !var%%I!)Pauseoutput:
http://website1.comhttp://website2.comhttp://website3.comOf course this method is only helpful if you want to do some text manipulation or something, but it isn't the parctical way if you just want to print the contents of the text file.
