I would like to create a batch file that will:
1.  Open a .TXT file
2.  read the first LINE of the file and save that first line into a directory with a new file name.
3.  read the next line of data and save to a new file.
4.  The script should be able to sequentially name the new file (ie.  newfile1.txt, newfile2.txt...newfileN.txt)
     as it moves to a new line.

The source file may have over 10,000 lines.

I have been able to accomplish this with a macro in Excel but I think it would run faster in DOS.
Since I don't know DOS a little help with this will GET me started.Without an OS, any solution is only guesswork. Why would anyone would clutter their HARDDISK with over 10,000 files?

Code: [Select]echo off
set count=0
for /f "tokens=1* delims=" %%i in (textfile.txt) do (
      call :Output %%i
      )
echo %count%
goto :EOF

:Output
      set /a count=%count%+1
      echo %1 > newfile%count%.txt

If there are any DOS special CHARACTERS in the lines from the file, you may get unexpected results.
