txt files from a list i have,i can create the files no problem but stuck when i try to add sequencial numbering(1,2,3...)to the start of the files.

Here what i have:

    for /f "delims=" %%i in (list.txt) do echo %%i > %%i.txt

Crabs Versus Skeletons
The Quest For Braccus Rex
The Teleporter Pyramids
The Wishing Brother
A Voice in the Wilderness
And about 100 more

It creates the .txt files from the list no problems,but what i want is:

1 Crabs Versus Skeletons
2 The Quest For Braccus Rex
3 The Teleporter Pyramids
4 The Wishing Brother
5 A Voice in the Wilderness

for /f "tokens=1*delims=[]" %%a in ('find /v /n "" list.txt') do >"%%a %%b.txt" echo(%%a %%b

Omit the "%%a " from whichever (filename or text-content) if required

Another way :

@echo off

setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set "$c="

for /f "delims=" %%i in (list.txt) do (
   set /a $c+=1 
   echo !$c! %%i > %%i.txt
)
