How do you loop through each line in a text file using a windows batch file?
batch-file, windows
Solution
I needed to process the entire line as a whole. Here is what I found to work.
for /F "tokens=*" %%A in (myfile.txt) do [process] %%A
The tokens keyword with an asterisk (*) will pull all text for the entire line. If you don't put in the asterisk it will only pull the first word on the line. I assume it has to do with spaces.
For Command on TechNet
If there are spaces in your file path, you need to use `usebackq`. For example.
for /F "usebackq tokens=*" %%A in ("my file.txt") do [process] %%A
Problem
I would like to know how to loop through each line in a text file using a Windows batch file and process each line of text in succession.
