How to append characters in a line

[Wensi Peng]

Hello,

I have leaned here how to add characters in front of a line by SET /P.
Today I would like to ask how to append characters in a line?

Example:

original output:

IP: 10.1..1.1
IP: 10.1.1.2
...........
IP: 10.1.1.n

Now I want to append vendor name, for instance

IP: 10.1..1.1 IBM server
IP: 10.1.1.2 HP server
...........
IP: 10.1.1.n DELL server

Thanks,
Wensi

for /f "Tokens=1,2" %%a in ('type filename') do (
"%commonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\msinfo\MSINFO32.EXE" /computer %%b /categories systemsummary /report "%TEMP%\MSINFO.TMP"
:: parse the "%TEMP%\MSINFO.TMP" and extract the Manufacturer and OS type.
)

I was asking a general question fro appending characters. It is independent
on any specifical commands.

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking since you already know how
to use 'set /p' ... post your current script in order to assist.
