   Just write a small program in your preferred programming   
   language. But if you really want to do it with a batch,   
   here an example which converts an input file (a.txt)   
   with the above content to an output file (b.txt) with   
   each textX on a separate line which then you can process   
   with "for /f":

   set infile=a.txt   
   set outfile=b.txt   
   set tmp0=_tmp0.tmp   
      
   if exist %tmp0% del %tmp0%   
      
   call :fopen %infile%   
   echo %infile% opened as input file   
      
   set n=0

   call :getc_hex char %n%   
   set /a n=n+1
