hey all,

I've forgotten hoe to pull the fist line of a txt file into a variable. I thought it was..

set var=<<C:\test.txt

but it doesn't work!!

All i'm trying to capture is a single word, so it should be nice and easy.

(also I've lost all my old batch files so can't look up whats I've done before.)

Cheers in advance
