I have a text file Foo.txt which contains value content0. I have to create a batch file which increment the text file like Foo1.txt, Foo2.txt.....Foo5.txt and also the values in the file content1, content2,...content5. The Foo1.txt should have the value content1

goto end

Adding to stephan's answer,

First read the content of foo.txt into the variable content like so:

set /p content=<foo.txt

Then the final code will look like:

set /p content=<foo.txt
for /L %%i IN (1,1,5) do echo %content%%%i>foo%%i.txt

here %content% is replaced by the actual content that was read from foo.txtin all the files foo%%i.
