Exiting a Batch File For Loop
Exiting a Batch File For Loop
- I am fairly new to windows batch files and have a problem with the following script :
rem @ echo off
cls
set vendor=SHAMFOOD
set dr=Y:\BPEL\Enterprise\kevin\
set filnm=Wahoo*.txt
set mdl=_INV_
set ext=.txt
set FOUND1=F
FOR /R %dr% %%G IN (%filnm%) DO (
rem echo %%G
set FOUND1=F
FOR /F "tokens=3 delims=~" %%H IN (%%G) DO (
IF "%FOUND1%"=="F" (
set filenam=%vendor%%mdl%%%H%ext%
set FOUND1=T
)
)
copy %%G test\%filenam%
)
rem echo ren confirm_%NBR%.txt confirm_%item%.sr >>%1.txt
rem echo %filenam%
I have a For Loop with in another for loop and I want to exit the inner one after 1 pass or at least not process any of the lines after the first one read. The code above is not working. The variable FOUND1 is not getting reset to "T". Can anyone tell me what is wrong with my code? Any HELP would be appreciated.

- What Are You Trying To Achieve With This Batch
IF You Only want To Process First Line OF Text File Why Not Take It Into A Variable
set /p firstline=<myfile.txt - You need SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION at the top of the file after @ECHO OFF
Also, you need to changed %FOUND1% to !FOUND1! and then it should work.
