Re: txt file as parameter list?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

"for /f %%F "

To honor Bill Stewarts "coming out",
this would apply to NT+ only.

Hello,

I have a small script for copying files:
xcopy "Z:\Notes Clients\6.5.4 FI W32Intel\Lotus Notes 6.5.4 fi.msi" \\testpc01\c$\WINDOWS\Installer /Y /Z /V

I would like to use a dest.txt file as destination PC list. Like:

testpc01
testpc02
testpc03

How can I read this dest.txt and pass the computername to xcopy command?

This could certainlly be done using WSH, but a very simple batch solution exists that looks a bit like this (untested) script:

for /f %%F in (test.txt) do xcopy "Z:\Notes Clients\6.5.4 FI W32Intel\Lotus Notes 6.5.4 fi.msi" \\%%F\c$\WINDOWS\Installer /Y /Z /V

This command will simply display a series of xcopy commands. If they seem OK, you could then edit out the "ECHO/" before running the script again.
