Read A .Properties File In Batch

  • 17

I have a properties file (my.File.properties) that contains the lines
…
my.webSphere.directory=
my.webSphere.profile=
…

The user will fill those parameter say

…
my.webSphere.directory=D:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppSrv01\bin
my.webSphere.profile=AppSrv01
…

Now, I want to create a batch file that gets the parameter my.webSphere.directory and my.webSphere.profile from my.File.properties

Thanks!!!

    1. @echo off
      for /F “delims=” %%j in (‘type “my.File.properties”‘) do set %%j
      set my.webShere

      And now… beware the environment variables the batch sets up are not persistent, i.e. they vanish at batch’s end.
