Batch file set line of text file as single variable in loop

Question

I am trying to write a batch file to run through a list of domains and then use each on as a variable and then run a reg export on these like below:-

for /f "delims=" %%x in (domains.txt) do set Domain=%%x
GOTO :ExportReg 

:ExportReg
reg export HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ipswitch\IMail\Domains\%Domain% C:\export-%Domain%.txt
echo %%Domain%%

:End

but this just tries to output it all to the same file, causing overwrite errors

so it outputs as c:\export-domain.com.txt then the next one is say domain.co.uk but it tries to write it to domain.com.txt again.

You initial code will only every process the last domain in your domains.txt file. I would think you would want to process all domains. Would be much easier to do everything within the FOR command.

for /f "delims=" %%x in (domains.txt) do (
    reg export HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ipswitch\IMail\Domains\%%x C:\export-%%x.txt
)
