If a.txt contains
a b c
abc
The command for /f %x in (a.txt) do echo %x is printing
a
abc
What am I doing wrong?

A:
for /f "tokens=*" %x in (a.txt) do @echo %x
The @echo will prevent the echo line from being printed

@preet Neat; but does not echo `a b c` as the string. I still see `a`.

A:
for /f "delims=|" %i in (a.txt) do @echo %i
Inside "delims=|" you can use any character for the delimiter that is not part of the file
