Use string in text file as a variable in batch

Question

I am trying to make a batch file use a string from a text file as a variable. So for instance I have a text file with:

Test

and I want it to return:

Your name is Test

using an echo command.Is it possible?

you can know its possible or not by running it yourself. If that's your only question. — shivam, Dec 06 '14 at 12:27
I don't understand what you are trying to say. Could you rephrase? — Nexrem, Dec 06 '14 at 12:32
In your example `Test` would *not* be a variable but a simple value. So what you really want is to read a list of strings and concatenate them to a fixed string, right? — Max Leske, Dec 06 '14 at 12:36

I figured it out. Just did:

(
set /p var=
)<File.txt

Then when I echo %var% I end up with the string in the text file.
