Solve : Look for specific string in file and use it?

1.	Solve : Look for specific string in file and use it?
Answer» Here's what I want to do: I have a file (sample.txt) that contains the setting of a variable, i.e.: CellName=Comp1 I want to SEARCH for this variable (CellName) and use it's value (Comp1) as a value elsewhere, e.g. in a path: cd C:\Comp1\ So FAR I can read through each line of the code USING Code: [Select]For /f "tokens=* delims=" %%a in (sample.txt) Do ( if %%a == CellName ()) but I can't find the string I'm LOOKING for, or use it's corresponding value. Does anyone have any ideas and can help? Code: [Select] for /f "tokens=1-2 delims==" %%A in ('type %CD%\sample.txt ^\| find "cellname"') do ( cd %%B ) FB Excellent, fair play to you. you were nearly there, i take it that it works now? FBYes, works well!
