Hi where can i learn the basics of batch processing script Thanks in advance

Google 'dos help' Also use your command window. start >> run >> type 'cmd' enter then in your command window type 'if /?' 'set /?' and by the time you are finished with those you will be well on your way. Need any more help just send me your email address.

That's exactly it search, read other people's scripts and search anything you don't understand. There is so much content on the subject it's scary, though off hand I can't think of any definitive tutorial, I kind of picked up what I know that way. I have found the most useful keyword is "batch". Another really good search is "nt batch commands". Watching these forums can help a lot too, as you see so many different approaches from different people.

IF you see a command you don't understand search for "command name" command in batch file, I learned nearly everything I know through Google :p The rest I picked up through trial and error. **CAUTION*** Do not experiment with FDISK :D I only Batch if possible, 2000 more lines of code, oh well.
