This example will take a string and add a comma after each character.  This will mek the variable able to be itterated one character at a time as well as count the number of characters, etc.

SendIndividualCharacters.cmd:

echo off cls setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion set myVar=AStringWithNoDelimiters echo myVar 1 = !myVar! call :StrToComSep myVar echo myVar 2 = !myVar! goto:eof :StrToComSep rem This subroutine takes a variable and places a comma after each character rem and white space to be used as a deliminator set string=!%1!# set pos=0 :startLoop         call set chr=%%string:~%pos%,1%%         if !chr!==# goto done         set varRebuild=!varRebuild!!chr!,         set /a pos+=1 goto startLoop :done set varRebuild=!varRebuild:~0,-1! set "%1=%varRebuild%" goto:eof

Output from the above example:

myVar 1 = AStringWithNoDelimiters myVar 2 = A,S,t,r,i,n,g,W,i,t,h,N,o,D,e,l,i,m,i,t,e,r,s
