Software / Easy .bat scripting help needed
« on: April 04, 2004, 09:26:14 AM »
Hello
I have a question, I need to remove the line breaks from a file, and read in the entire file (without linebreaks) to a varible. But I just can't get it to work.
FOR /F "tokens=1" %%i IN (e:\winnt\system32\svchost1.txt) DO (
%%i
)
Would echo the entire file.. But I need to put the entire file (all lines) into one variable (maybe seperate the lines with a <> or something)
I thought about having:
set temp=1
FOR /F "tokens=1" %%i IN (e:\winnt\system32\svchost1.txt) DO (
set temp=%temp% <> %%1
)
Because I thought this could work, but it didnt..
Any suggestions?
