Insert suffix to every line in TXT file

[aisha]

Hello DOS Tips,
We are trying to insert a suffix to the END of EVERY line in a file.

so we are trying to add a quote mark to the end of each line with

setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%a in (c:\sandbox\original.txt) do
set /a N+=1
echo ^"%%a^" ^>c:\sandbox\new.txt

c:\sandbox\original.txt
"Jack and Jill went up the hill
"Jill and Jack went up the hill

c:\sandbox\new.txt
"Jack and Jill went up the hill"
"Jill and Jack went up the hill"

...but there is something wrong with the syntax and my brain is melting.

Help please

Code: Select all

@echo off
(for /f "delims=" %%a in (c:\sandbox\original.txt) do (
    set /a N+=1
    echo %%a"
))>c:\sandbox\new.txt

No idea what you are tying to do with the N variable.
