Reading a file and searching for a string using a bat file

Hi,

I'm trying to read in from a file and find a certain string, once it's found i have to split it at the = and get the text to be used in a file name backup. The only thing i'm having trouble with is getting the correct string.

This is the code i'm using

@ECHO OFF
FOR /F %%A IN (C:\TEST\lpcqparm.cfg) DO (

	@ECHO %%A:~0,9%	
	
	SET VAR=%%A
	@ECHO %VAR%

)

The echo of the %%A variable won't let me split the string to compare it and on the following line when i put it into a variable the variable always contains the last line of the file.

The input file contains the following info

&DATE=20090807
&DATE2=08072009
D&CRDACYC=D0932E
D&PRDACYC=D0932D
W&CRWKCYC=W0932
M&CRMOCYC=M0908
Q&CRQTCYC=Q0903
END-OF-FILE

Does anyone know how this could be done or why when i put the %%A into a varaible it always contains the last line of the file?

I'm trying to create a funtion, that can get all the system info from a given process id and return it to a variable.

I invoke the base windows classes to get the neccessary info, by taking a snap shot and than using the process handle to get all the info needed. I pass the info back to the calling function using the LPWSTR datatype, into a string envVars = new StringBuilder(8192 * 2);
I then use the ToString method on the returned value to convert it for compares.

The problem is that all of the info isn't in the string, when i open it in textpad it says that certain characters don't exist in the code page 1252, and it displays these as a '?'

Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this issue?
