Batch file to create .txt files with specific names: String001.txt, String002.txt, etc

Question

Ive used the for loop below, but can only get it to ouput an incrementing number as the name. It ignores the string. (1.txt, 2.txt, etc.).

For /l %%x (1, 1, 9) do (echo string%%x > %%x.txt)

How do I add the static string in front of each incrementing number in the .txt file name?

I think it may need another variable to store the whole string and number together, then redirect that to filenames. But Im stumped...

Thanks for help.

To have leading zeroes you need a different approach:

@Echo off
for /l %%n in (1001,1,1009) do set n=%%n&call Echo string%%n:~-3%% >string%%n:~-3%%.txt
