Create multiple files with variables using a txt with batch

Time:09-17

Sorry for the very simplified version of my question but I'll figure from here.

I have a text file containing one word each line.

Peter
Tommy
Mike

I have another file containing a text.

Hello %VARIABLE%
How are you doing?

I'd like to have a batch file that creates one new text file for each line from the first text file and name them accordingly.

Peter.txt:

Hello Peter
How are you doing?

Tommy.txt:

Hello Tommy
How are you doing?

Mike.txt:

Hello Mike
How are you doing?

Here is where I am now.

@echo off
for /f "delims=" %%x in (file.txt) do set /p nAme=%%x

(
echo Hello %nAme%
echo.
echo How are you doing?
)>%nAme%.txt

This (test.bat) only writes the variables on screen, and creates a test.txt file with

Hello test

How are you doing?

CodePudding user response:

A FOR command with the /F option is used to read a file.

FOR /F "usebackq delims=" %%G IN ("file.txt") DO (
    echo Hello %%G>"%%G.txt"
    echo How are you doing?>>"%%G.txt"
)
