How to make a batch file read the text of a .txt file

Question

I am trying to get a batch script to read the text from a document called "Response.txt". I can't seem to get it to read the text inside the file. The file says Yes. I want it to create a new text file to say week A if "Reponse.txt" = Yes.

@echo off 
IF Response.txt = Yes 
goto next 
:next 
ECHO >Week.txt 
ECHO Week >Week A.txt 

Answer 1

@echo off 
for /f %%a in (Response.txt) do if /i "%%a"=="Yes" ECHO Week >"Week A.txt"

Will create "Week A.txt" if any line in response.txt has a first word "Yes" in any case.

Beyond that, you'll have to explain further what you want to do.
