Question

I have a tricky problem: there is a file (version.txt) that contains two lines with version numbers. I parsed this with

FOR /F "tokens=*" %i IN (c:\install\version.txt) DO @echo %i

but now the plan is to put the output as a filename and add the computername in
front, like

%computername%_contens-from-version-file.txt

can someone help me?

thanks
uwe

Use this batch file.

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
SET MAJOR=
SET MINOR=
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%i IN (c:\install\version.txt) DO (
  IF "!MAJOR!" == "" (
    SET MAJOR=%%i
  ) ELSE (
    IF "!MINOR!" == "" SET MINOR=%%i
  )
)
ECHO Version is %MAJOR%.%MINOR%
SET computername=just_example
SET FILENAME=%computername%%MAJOR%.%MINOR%.txt
ECHO File name is %FILENAME%
ECHO File contents>"c:\install\%FILENAME%"
