    I am trying to create a batch file to read a text file line by line, and then create a separate file for each line.

    I first tried the following, which gives the correct file for the last line only:

    @echo off

    set ncount=0

    FOR /F %%a IN (data_input.txt) DO (set testvar=%%a

    set /a ncount+=1 )

    echo %testvar% > "data_output%ncount%.txt"

     

    I have also tried the following, which gives the correct files (data_output1.txt, data_output2.txt, etc) though does not pass the line text into the file (they all show "ECHO is off"

    )

    @echo off

    set ncount=1

    FOR /F %%a IN (data_input.txt) DO (set testvar = %%a

    set /a ncount+=1

    call :sub1

    )

    goto :eof

    :sub1

    echo %testvar% > "data_output%ncount%.txt"

     

    What am I doing wrong?
