Batch, echo whole line from variable

Reading from a text that looks like this:

10888982_I
90889156_I         8           2014-04-25 07:10:00           
10877565_I         17          2014-04-25 07:10:00

I am searching for content using the first column, variable %%i is set as the first column. If not found it echo's to another text file. It currently echos only the first column, how can I make it echo the entire line? This is the script I am currently using

for /f "tokens=1" %%i in (%src_folder%\spots.txt) DO (
  if EXIST %src_folder_hd%\%%i.mpg (
    xcopy "%src_folder_hd%\%%i.mpg" "%dest_folder%" /Y
  ) else (
    echo=%%i >> %src_folder%\missing.txt
  )
))

for /f "delims=" %%A in (%src_folder%\spots.txt) do for /f %%B in ("%%A") do (
  if exist "%src_folder%\%%B" (
    xcopy "%src_folder%\%%B" "%dest_folder%" /y
  ) else echo %%A>>"%src_folder%\missing.txt"
)

Note that the code assumes the file name never contains spaces.

You set the option tokens=1 so you only want the first token.
Change it to tokens=* or delims=, both will work for you
