How to increment a value in a txt file in BATCH.

[TJIZIL]

Dear Bytes Community,

First of all I would like to thank you in advance for helping me.

I have been trying to write a batch code that will:

1. Auto execute after POST.
2. Increment a value that is suppose to represent number of the POSTs.
3. Save, display the value and restart the PC.

I have tried to write one that access a txt file for the value; however the value does not increment.

 
 
@echo off
 
echo.This script is counting the # of POSTs.
 
cd "C:\Users\HP-M6\Documents"
for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%x in (TEST.txt)  do echo %%x
 
call:myPOSTTest
 
for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%x in (TEST.txt)  do echo %%x
 
 
echo.&pause&goto:eof
 
 
::--------------------------------------------------------
::-- Function section starts below here
::--------------------------------------------------------
-- 
:myPOSTTest    - here starts my function identified by it's label
 
 
cd "C:\Users\HP-M6\Documents"
 
for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%x in (TEST.txt) do (
 
set %x%+=1
 
)
 
 
goto:eof
