What if we were to want ot preserve leading spaces in our variable? I have a need to create a data file that is one line long which is right justified & padded at the left with no cr/lf at the end. Your solution is great in that it supresses the cr/lf at the end – But it also strips out the leading space(s) from my variable. The number of spaces I need is unknown. I always want the total length (spaces + data) to equal 10.

Haven’t seen that one…where is this manual of batch files hidden?

Can be simplified to:

set /p x=”%USERNAME%” session.nam

Earl, thanks for the post, I’ll have to try your shortened version. I used to think that batch files were swell, until I just recently got into Linux shell scripting. Shell scripting is considerably more impressive.

This is exacly what I was looking for. After digging into it a little more, I figure out you can shorten it to:

(echo.|set /p =”%USERNAME%”)>session.nam
