Windows 2003 Batch Script Processing

Asked by nsgguy245 in Norton Ghost Backup Software, Windows Batch Scripting, Windows 2003 Server

I have the following script which I would like to run to automatically to display the first six characters after YUTG for every filename in it's directory. When I run this though, it only displays the first six characters for one file and then terminates. How can I write this so that it cycles through all the filenames in the directory?

For instance, if there are the following files in the directory, I would like the script to echo ABCRTF
YGTHJH
UYHFGY

Example filenames: YUTG.ABCRTF.txt
                                 YUTG.YGTHJH.txt
                                 YUTG.UYHFGY.txt



for /F %%A in ('dir /b YUTG*') Do Set MyVar=%%A
set dirvar=%MyVar:~5,5%
echo %dirvar%
