Read a txt line by line in a batch file

Question

Here is my problem. I have a txt file with 100 different video names (examples):

abc.mpg
def.mpg
ghi.mpg
xyz.mpg

I want to process those videos one by one using some commands and put the results into a folder with the same name (without the extension):

command1 abc.mpg
command2 abc.mpg
move results .\abc

My question is how can I perform the above iteration with a for loop within a batch file.

Answer 1

The command is FOR with /F parameter like this

FOR /F %i in (yourFile.txt) DO yourcommand %i

this reads a line at a time from the text file and insert the value into the %i argument Then call the command specified after the DO keyword (the command could be another batch with the copy or move operations required)
