Clarification, the bigger problem is that my input file has foo1=bar1, foo2=bar2, ... I want to read in that file such that I end up with variables %foo1% equal to 'bar1'.

Hi,
I'm reading from a file some name/value arguments (e.g. foo=bar) so that these are stored in say %%i, %%j.

echo %foo%

Thanks
