Set Var not working

[radcaesar]

In the below file, filecount.txt have count "20" but the variable "varFilecount" shows "0" when echo.

Any Idea?

dir "c:\MCSLoad\*.txt" | find /c ".txt" >> filecount.txt
set /P varFileCount=<filecount.txt
echo varFileCount
REM del filecount.txt

[!k]

echo %varFileCount%
