Delete Last Line In Txt File Using Batch?

  • 2

I actually have 2 questions.
1: I need to delete the LAST line in a txt file! NOT the first line!! How do i do this?
2: I need to read the entire file and set each line to a variable (line1,line2,line3,line4,line5…..) I was gonna use a var called var for the number ex.
set line%var%=<Insert text here>
set /a var+=1
3: I also want it to goto something then return to the code. Like read one line then set the var then goto some_place then do some stuff then go back to the code to read yet another line.
4: It ALSO needs to stop once the entire txt file is read.
