Hi,

I would like a batch script to all the text documents in a folder. This is what I have managed so far

@ECHO off
title Test
set dir1=C:\Users\Family\Desktop\Example

:Start
cls
echo 1. test loop
echo 2. Quit
set /p choice=I choose (1,2):
if %choice%==1 goto test
if %choice%==2 exit

:test
cls
echo running loop test 
FOR %%n in (%dir1% *.txt) DO echo %dir1%\%%n
echo Done
pause

What I would like outputted is

running loop test
C:\Users\Family\Desktop\Example\doc 1.txt
C:\Users\Family\Desktop\Example\doc 2.txt
Done

But I Get this

running loop test
C:\Users\Family\Desktop\Example\C:\Users\Family\Desktop\Example
C:\Users\Family\Desktop\Example\doc 1.txt
C:\Users\Family\Desktop\Example\doc 2.txt
Done

Thanks in advance Kyle
