what i was originally trying to do was make a batch file that gets user input and puts it into an environment variable i know it has been done before, but now i have managed it with only one external programme (fc.exe) i no longer need to do what i originally posted above because i modified the main batch file. however i would like to present my batch file for comments/ideas from others out there i am having a problem posting it here because the long lines are getting wrapped. can someone please instruct me how to post without getting any lines wrapped
i donot wish to sign
