Printing value of multiple variable expression in Windows Batch Files -

so i'm trying print out value of variable in form of (variable.variable). can't figure out how it. closest thing got was:

echo %"%dog.index%"% 

which printed out:

dog.index 

and tried add set of % tags , printed out:

%""% 

any great! thanks.

i'm trying make array-like variable. want value of dog.1, dog.2, dog.3 printed out , assign them such:

set dog.%index%=(value) 

and %index% counter increment. trying "%dog.index%" not work, neither %dog%.%index% again.

you'll have use delayed expansion of environment variables. command setlocal enabledelayedexpansion initialises mode, after can use delayed expansion enclosing variables in ! instead of %.

here's illustration of how can used:

@echo off setlocal enabledelayedexpansion  echo initialising... /l %%i in (1,1,5) set dog.%%i=!random!  echo displaying... /l %%i in (1,1,5) echo %%i: !dog.%%i!  set index=3 echo dog.%index% !dog.%index%! 

output:

 initialising... displaying... 1: 1443 2: 6940 3: 24198 4: 8054 5: 14092 dog.3 24198 

you can see last part of script employs both immediate , delayed expansion. immediate expansion replaces %index% 3 , results in variable name of dog.3. delayed expansion replaces !dog.3! expression value of dog.3 variable.
