This works in XP Pro, dunno about older versions: Y:\>echo password >file.txt:pwd Y:\>type file.txt Y:\>more <file.txt:pwd password Y:\>more <file.txt:pwd >zot.txt Y:\>type zot.txt password Y:\>for /F "usebackq" %i in (`type zot.txt`) do @set zot=%i ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ <how about this one, eh? Unix shell, eat your heart out! :)> Y:\>set yaddayaddayadda....... windir=C:\WINDOWS ZOT=password Y:>del zot.txt Assuming you do this within "setlocal", you should be fine.
