Solve : its always the simple things I have trouble with...?

Answer»

To my way of thinking, this should place the contents of a file into an environment variable:

Code: [Select]type temp.txt|SET /p me=
But, alas, it does not.

Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.Code: [Select]set /p me=<temp.txt
