How to read lines in a text file with spaces?

[vishnuj]

I have a file called file.txt in which it contains few lines as
vishnu
ram
gopal
suresh
chandra sekar
prem kumar
nandhu

I have written a batch script to read each line and to create a folder and assign the lines as name to that folder.

FOR /f "tokens=* delims=" %a in (file.txt) DO @md %a

but, the folder created as vishnu, ram, gopal, suresh, chandra, sekar, prem, kumar, nandhu

Here the chandra and sekar are seperated as two folders, but i want the chandra sekar as a single folder name, how to acheive this?

Use Quotes.

Code: Select all

@md "%a"

This bloke is not likely to return here.
