Not terribly important but is there a way to take a text variable and change it into caps?

Depends on which programming language you are using. Most languages have a function to change text to all upper case or all lower case as needed.

For instance in VB it is Ucase (variable) or Lcase (variable).

anything that can be run by cmd is called "batch", according to my definition.

with vbscript


Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments
WScript.Echo UCase(objArgs(I))

save the above as script.vbs and in your batch file, 


@echo off
....
....
cscript /nologo script.vbs %%variable

Okay well, Windows NT Command-Line Script. :P And yes, I do use VBScript when I just can't get something to work the way I want it to. Thanks you two.
