Comment:

I have some ip/host pair in a text file ip.txt
ip.txt
-------
10.10.10.10 xxx.abc.com
20.20.20.20 yyy.abc.com
The below batch file reads ip.txt and search for it inside hosts file
and delete it from hosts
But the for loop is not working for the first entry of ip.txt but works fine for the remaining entries.
hostremove.cmd
---------------------
@echo off
FOR /F "delims=^n tokens=*" %%a IN (ip.txt) do call :func "%%a"
goto :eof

:func
set line=%1
set hf=%windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
find /v %line% < %hf% >> newhosts
rename newhosts hosts
copy /a /y hosts %hf%
del hosts
:eof
pause
echo on
------------------------
Please help.
