Hi,

I have an txt File that contains a single line of text, and I want to load the txt string from the TXT file into a DOS Batch variable then Concat the string to the section of the string that I need.

Filename: InvoiceNumber.txt

I have no idea where to start, could someone please help.

Thanks,

Rimal7,

To get the string from the file use the "for /f" command.

Code: Select all

REM The "for /f" command reads a line from a file
for /f "delims=" %%a in (InvoiceNumber.txt) do set "TxtFromFile=%%a"
REM Now concatenate as desired
set "txt=Hi, this is from the InvoiceNumber.txt file: %TxtFromFile%"
echo.%txt%
