You can use the for command:

for /F %F in (test.txt) do echo %F

will print each line in file test.txt to the console.

Shouldn't it be for /F %%F in (test.txt) do echo %%F

@JeffCaron: Yes, within a batch file you need to double the percentage sign.

for /F "delims= " %%i in (workstation.txt) do call handle.bat %%i

in handle.bat first param (%1) will be name of workstation there you can do all work (copy, echo and so on)
