As titled, the first read from the file always fails, as the displayed output will be "ECHO is off." Subsequent reads will be fine, as the IP address in IP.txt file will be displayed. @echo off for /F %%A in (C:\Users\user1\Desktop\IP.txt) do ( set F=%%A echo %F% ) Sample output when script is run 3...
