I was inspired on works of our colleagues from portal

Have a batch create text files based on a list
Batch script to read input text file and make text file for each line of input text file

to develop creation from a text file for example
"comps.txt" ( comp1,comp2....
for each PC a batch script read from a list of PCs in a text file and create a text file for each line of text as local.
Later in code are created folders files named - the same names ( comp1,comp2.... at the end we have text files : comp1.txt ,comp2.txt ... and folders: comp1 , comp2.... till 400 computers.
Any idea how to add in code or write another separate batch code to move for each coresponding folder text file for text file 

comp1.txt->comp1 folder  
comp2.txt->comp2.txt  
....

We have more than 400 lines!! I am very begginers for any scrips working very hard every single day and this is my first question. My code in Windows Batch is below

@echo off
  setlocal
   for /f "tokens=*" %%a in (comps.txt) do (type nul>"%%a.txt")
  for /f "tokens=*" %%a in (comps.txt) do (
   echo This is line 1 of text>"%%a.txt"
   )
   for /f %%i in (comps.txt) do mkdir %%i 
  do (
  echo "%%i.txt"
      )
  endlocal

It doesn't make any sense to generate text files and then folders to move the files to. Create the folders first place and create the files into the folders. Using a (code block) only one for loop is needed.

@echo off
setlocal
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in (comps.txt) do (
  if not exist "%%a" mkdir "%%a"
  echo This is line 1 of text>"%%a\%%a.txt"
)
endlocal
  • Many thanks -working perfectly with your help and code very much . That not only about txt file- For me that has a sense especially when You change inside code extension from " .txt->.bat [echo This is line 1 of text>"%%a\%%a.txt" ->echo This is line 1 of text>"%%a\%%a.bat" ] and You have computer folder name with same batch script name for futher modifications that can be given any variable - I will see Tommorow -time running too fast -Regards – Andrzej Orlecki Mar 16 '17 at 15:31
