Hi,
Is there a batch command that checks the value in the file test.txt?
After that, it will increment the value by 1.

Its KIND of a counter that will be used for me to save the state other batch file.

Thnaks!
Lekfir
you mean how many rows are in this file ??

if so :

Code: [Select]setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for /f %%a in (file.txt) do (
set /a num+=1
)
echo %num%
Thanks for your replay!

But I still dont have the answer.
Let me explain
Lets say that I have 2 files:
File.txt that contains only the value 1 in it.
Test.bat file that has 2 goals:
1. Checks the value in the file.txt and if it is > 4 it will Call to another batch file.
2. After the check, it will increment the value in the file.txt by 1 each time I call to Test.bat.

Thanks! my Hero.As long as there is but a single value in file.txt, you can eliminate that pesky delayed expansion:

Code: [Select]set /p num=<file.txt
if %num% GTR 4 call another
set /a num=%num%+1
echo %num% > file.txt

Sidewinder Thank you very much!
It WORKED great.

BTW, Can I place the file.txt in a different location. not in the same location with the Test.bat?
For example: Test.bat is located in d:\ and file.txt in c:\ ?
Like here:

set /p num=if %num% GTR 4 call another
set /a num=%num%+1
echo %num% > c:\file.txt
