Hi, i'm trying to build an ldif import file. I have 2 files, one with the DN and another with the employeeNumber, they match up line for line.

Here's the code that does not work:

@echo on

::Set BATCH Input Directory set batchdir=e:\Meta

::Set the input file containing the server list set infile=%batchdir%\DDNs3 set infile2=%batchdir%\DDNs4

::If exists, we remove output file Rm DDNs3.ldif

::For loop below process each line in the input list. FOR /F "tokens=* delims=" %%i IN (%infile%) do ( FOR /F "tokens=* delims=" %%k IN (%infile2%) do ( Echo dn: %%i Echo changetype: modify Echo replace: employeeNumber Echo employeeNumber: %%k ) ) >> DDNs3.ldif

I've tried several variations, including:

::For loop below process each line in the input list. FOR /F "tokens=* delims=" %%i IN (%infile%) do ( Echo dn: %%i Echo changetype: modify Echo replace: employeeNumber FOR /F "tokens=* delims=" %%k IN (%infile2%) do ( Echo employeeNumber: %%k echo. ) ) >> DDNs3.ldif
