This works in XP Pro, dunno about older versions:
Y:\>echo password >file.txt:pwd
Y:\>type file.txt
Y:\>more <file.txt:pwd
password
Y:\>more <file.txt:pwd >zot.txt
Y:\>type zot.txt
password
Y:\>for /F "usebackq" %i in (`type zot.txt`) do @set zot=%i
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
<how about this one, eh? Unix shell, eat your heart out! :)>
Y:\>set
yaddayaddayadda.......
windir=C:\WINDOWS
ZOT=password
Y:>del zot.txt
Assuming you do this within "setlocal", you should be fine.
