Reading from a csv file and extracting certain data columns based on first column value

Question

This is my first batch program and I have been searching online but still struggling to write up a solution.

I have the following CSV file:

\"RH\",2013/0

You have a parsing issue. First end the for loop with ), after this you can use the new variables:

@echo off
:: Set input file in variable
::Set _InputFile=%1

:: Store input line into different variables
FOR /F "tokens=1-18* delims=," %%A IN (%_InputFile%) DO (
    Set "_var1=%%A"
    Set "_var2=%%B"
    Set "_var3=%%C"
    Set "_var4=%%D"
    Set "_var5=%%E"
    Set "_var6=%%F"
    Set "_var7=%%G"
    Set "_var8=%%H"
    Set "_var9=%%I"
    Set "_var10=%%J"
    Set "_var11=%%K"
    Set "_var12=%%L"
    Set "_var13=%%M"
    Set "_var14=%%N"
    Set "_var15=%%O"
    Set "_var16=%%P"
    Set "_var17=%%Q"
    Set "_var18=%%R"
)

IF "%_var1%"=="RH" echo %var2%
