reading variables value from text file in batch script

In my BAT file, i want to read these data from .txt file and need to set each data into one variable

    SQLUserName=MFiles
    WrapperSQLServerName=usa.com
    WrapperDatabase=Wrapper
    WrapperAssemblyLocation=D:\Assembly
    MFilesNetworkAddress=USA-S1
    MFilesVaultName=MF2
    MFilesUsername=User
    MFilesPassword=
    MFilesVaultGUID={26F30-E120-408C-8035-04D85D6}
    MFilesWebServerURL=www.WebServer.com
    SQLMailProfileName=NoReply
    WrapperSupportEmail=thejus@WebServer.com

I tried with this code

FOR /F "tokens=2 delims==" %%a IN ('find "WrapperSupportEmail" ^<config.txt') DO SET SupportEmail=%%a

But it throws error 

find is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file

Please help me

My code is correct one only. Only issue is windows cant locate find.exe. I included the .exe on same location and after that everything works fine.

Its working fine in Win 7 and Win 10 without adding Find.exe

when two members with high reputation tell you it works, then it shouldn't be the worst of all ideas to at least try it.

rem @echo off
for /f "delims=" %%i in (config.txt) do set _%%i
pause
set _

I REMd the @echo off, so you can watch, how every single line get's processed.

(Your original error find is not recognized ... is probably because you messed up your %path%-variable, but you don't need find for this task.)

If the schema of your input file is fixed (keyword=value) and you want to assign all values to an environment variabel named keyword it is very, very easy. try this:

for /f "tokens=1,2 delims==" %i in (config.txt) do set %i=%j

remember to change %i and %j to %%i and %%j if you want to put this call into a cmd-file.
