I have a list of hostnames in a TEXT file nodes.txt that I want batch file to read then run following commands for each hostname found in nodes.txt

Here are the commands to run

ovdeploy -upload -file "C:\Users\AG\scopemsgs" -targetdir "c:\temp" -host
ovdeploy -cmd "move c:\temp\scopemsgs 'C:\Program Files\HP\HP BTO Software\msg\C\'" -host
ovdeploy -cmd "ovpacmd start" -host
ovdeploy -cmd "perfstat -p" -host

after -host SCRIPT should put hostname from the node.txt file. for example

ovdeploy -upload -file "C:\Users\AG\scopemsgs" -targetdir "c:\temp" -host node123.com

I tried this

for /f %%i in (nodes.txt) do set node=%%i

ovdeploy -upload -file "C:\Users\AG\scopemsgs" -targetdir "c:\temp" -host node
Almost got it right, try:
CODE: [Select]for /f %%i in (nodes.txt) do ovdeploy -upload -file "C:\Users\AG\scopemsgs" -targetdir "c:\temp" -host %%i

Also, don't FORGET that variables in batch must be surrounded by % symbles, or ! if setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion is used.This is what I interpret that you need to do: Each line in nodes.txt has a SINGLE host on it.

Code: [Select]@echo off
for /f "delims=" %%a in (nodes.txt) do (
ovdeploy -upload -file "C:\Users\AG\scopemsgs" -targetdir "c:\temp" -host %%a
ovdeploy -cmd "move c:\temp\scopemsgs 'C:\Program Files\HP\HP BTO Software\msg\C\'" -host %%a
ovdeploy -cmd "ovpacmd start" -host %%a
ovdeploy -cmd "perfstat -p" -host %%a
)
