I will open a new question, I also want to see if it can be sorted in the right order.

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a text file that the data is on its own line.<br />
<br />
example:<br />
192.168.1.1<br />
192.168.1.2<br />
192.168.1.3<br />
192.168.1.4<br />
192.168.1.5<br />
192.168.1.6<br />
<br />
<br />
and I would like to read from the text file in a batch script I am writing so that it is output on the screen in columns.<br />
<br />
example<br />
192.168.1.1 &nbsp; &nbsp; 192.168.1.2 &nbsp; &nbsp; 192.168.1.3<br />
192.168.1.4 &nbsp; &nbsp; 192.168.1.5 &nbsp; &nbsp; 192.168.1.6<br />
<br />
or<br />
<br />
192.168.1.1 &nbsp; &nbsp; 192.168.1.3 &nbsp; &nbsp; 192.168.1.5<br />
192.168.1.2 &nbsp; &nbsp; 192.168.1.4 &nbsp; &nbsp; 192.168.1.6<br />
<br />
Whichever way is easier or a script for both if it can be done.<br />
<br />
Thank you in advance

Batch script help!

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.

Windows Batch

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.

VB Script

Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS-DOS) was an operating system for x86-based personal computers, and traces of it are still found in the Windows operating system. DOS is still used in some embedded systems and for certain legacy 16-bit networks.
