Use Textfile for variables ?

ETC Microsoft Windows
1

So...

I have a text file that contains this (hex.txt):

#8C7CA6 
#6C70A5 
#75777C 
#959A90 
#7A7C6C 
#867DAB 
#80867E 
#8A87BD 
#6B71C6 
#8F8A79 
#9A9DCE 
#7E87D0 
#69709E 
#82968C 
#7C8F81 
#A3917B 
#8CAB8C 
#728170 
#95A19C 
#8FA5A3 
#A6CAB3

My code looks like this:

for %%x in (*png) do convert -monitor %%x -transparent "%VALUE%" %%x

the %VALUE% is what should be changed by the line of the text file.

It should repeat like this

Any help is appreciated.

Try this if you have awk

$ awk '{print "for %%x in (*png) do convert -monitor %%x -transparent \""$1"\" %%x"}' inputfile
3

Did you consider using the FOR /F option (needs Command Extensions enabled) to read the file line by line?

4

Like this ?:

for /F %%c in (hex.txt) do (
for %%x in (*png) do convert -monitor %%x -transparent "%%c" %%x
)

Looks acceptable, but I don't have a system to test at hand (lucky me!) What be your result?

ok... so I guess.

This has got nothing to do with the looping, and more with the code itself...

Well..

At least that is cleared up. Thanks.
