I came across this answer with the line:
for /f "tokens=1,* delims=¶" %%A in ( '"type %INTEXTFILE%"') do
However, there is no explanation as to what the "¶" is doing there. StackOverflow search strips out the character, and Google offers me pictures of ladies...
It's a character that shouldn't occur in the target file, so essentially it's the same as delims=" (ie. no delimiters.)
Tha having been said, the fact that the code includes tokens=1* means that the first token (that part of the line up to, but not including [any member of the set of delimiter characters] will be assigned to %%A and the remainder of the line to %%B, so it would appear that the author is expecting that character in the file.
