Assume I have a (text) file with only one line.
Now I want to get the string from the beginning of this first line until a delimiter which
is equal to the hexadecimal value DE ?

This string should be assigned to a variable "mystring" in my DOS batch program (under WinXP).
How can I achieve this?

*** I can't help with XP, but DOS users employing XSET can:
TYPE FILE.TXT | XSET /SEPARATOR "DE" /WORD 1 mystring
Substitute the character represented by hexadecimal `DE' and this
should work.
