When using math with the 'set' command, you do 'set /a'
and remove all the " thingys
Also, why do you have the :start when you dont use it?

Code: Select all

>>text.txt echo set /p line%Q%=

That is a weird code...
For you case, here is the one I use:

%Q%>>text.txt

Code: Select all

:start2
set "Q"="Q + 1"
>>text.txt echo set /p line%Q%=
goto start2
pause

Why did you put the "pause" at the end?

It's a loop "goto start2"
