Batch line to print a file line by line

I'd like to write simple Windows batch line - a loop that iterate through a file line by line and for each line just prints that line. Here i what a have:

for /F "usebackq tokens=*" %f in ("del.txt") do echo %f

But that outputs:

C:\Users\Darek\test2>echo f1.txt
f1.txt
C:\Users\Darek\test2>echo f3.txt
f3.txt

while i'd rather expected just:

f1.txt
f3.txt

Why does it prints also the C:\Users\Darek\test2>echo ... for each line?

Because you don't disable echo of commands.

Put as the first line of your script

@echo off

(@ before command is to not echo this command itself.)
