I have a file, build-version.txt, that contains the build number "1.2.3". I want to store this build number in an environment variable. In Unix, I would do something like:
version=$(cat build-version.txt)
How do I do this in Windows? The following doesn't do what I want:
set VERSION=type build-version.txt

Just use:
set /P VERSION=< build-version.txt
and you can check with command:
echo %VERSION%
