```plaintext Hello, I would like to include the content of a text file in a variable without including the last 7 characters.
Let me explain: the file contains a path as well as the filename.
That is to say like this: C:\[path]\XXX.extension
I know how to include the entire content of the file 
set /p Var= < file.txt

But I have no idea how to remove the last 7 characters :/
I hope my explanations are clear and I thank you in advance. ```

      Thank you very much!
      I was saying to myself that it was possible but I couldn't remember that command :-)
