How to read from a .properties file using batch script

Question

I have a requirement where i\'d like to read values from a .properties file

my properties file test.properties content

file=jaguar8
exte         


        

Answer 1

@echo off  
FOR /F "tokens=1,2 delims==" %%G IN (test.properties) DO (set %%G=%%H)  
echo %file%  
echo %extension%  
echo %path%

Note that there is no space after %%H. Else this causes a space to be appended, to file paths for example, and will cause file not found errors when the variables from the property files are used as part of a file path.Struggled for hours because of this!
