If you only want to read one line you can also use set /p.

<myFile.txt set /p var=
echo %var%

Use below for loop syntax. Replace filename with your filename, or environmental variable. If this code is supposed to be put inside a batch file, replace % with %%, as %%t.

for /F %t in (filename) Do (
    echo %t
    :: Do whatever else you want to do with %t
)
