Hi, I would need help from the expert on writing a bat file to shutdown computers based on the text file (PCNAME).
The script would read the txt file and then loop to shutdown all the pc based on the pc name in the txt file.

test-1.bat
Code: Select all
@echo off
cd /d "%~dp0"
for /f "delims=" %%i in ('type "PCNAME.txt"') do (
shutdown /s /f /t 0 /m "%%i"
)

Why are you parsing the output of type? You can just interact with the file directly in the for loop.
Code: Select all
for /f "usebackq delims=" %%A in ("PCNAME.txt") do shutdown /s /f /t 0 /m \\%%A
(note that I'm assuming that the PC names don't have the \\ prefix in the text file that they need to be passed to the shutdown command.)

type "PCNAME.txt" works if txt is Unicode or ANSI.
