This assumes your file is called settings.conf, and that it's in the same directory as the batch script.

@echo off
for /F "delims=" %%A in (settings.conf) do set "%%A"

Environment variable color=45 not defined – Hackerz Dec 23 '14 at 01:23
It didnt show that this time :/, but it doesnt do any of the settings – Hackerz Dec 23 '14 at 01:27
It shows all of them for me. http://i.imgur.com/kEpaNFS.png How are you calling the for loop? – SomethingDark Dec 23 '14 at 01:29
Just copied `@echo off for /F "delims=" %%A in (settings.conf) do set %%A` into batch and `color=20 title=ds` in the settings.conf – Hackerz Dec 23 '14 at 01:31
I'm assuming this is part of a larger script. Are the variables getting replaced somewhere else in the code? – SomethingDark Dec 23 '14 at 01:32
It is supposed to load the settings not view them – Hackerz Dec 23 '14 at 01:33
I'm just echoing them to show that the variable loading worked. The code above doesn't echo anything, and so you won't get a message or anything if it worked. – SomethingDark Dec 23 '14 at 01:34
