I have been working with this assignment for afew hours and I am having trouble getting it to work right..... I am fairly new at cmd. Help would get greatly appreciated! Might be able to paypal some cash if motivation needed! hah.. The assignment is: 1. Write a batch file that displays the current system date setting without prompting for a new date and save that output as date.txt. 2. Now display the network adapter address and save that output as mac.txt. 3. Copy the two text files to a new file named both.txt. 4. Delete the first two text files. 5. Make a directory named asg7 6. Move both.txt to asg7. 7. Change directories to asg7. 8. Delete both.txt then delete asg7 silently, without prompting. Thanks!!

What have you written so far? ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

When I said i was new i wasn't kidding...hah @echo off md asg7 cd asg7 echo %date% echo %date% >> date.txt echo %ipconfig -all% echo %ipconfig -all% >> mac.txt dir Thanks!

I am willing to pay money for any help i can get!

You're off to a good start. Try again, keeping the steps in the order called for by the assignment. ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

Firstly ipconfig isn't a variable, it won't work with echo or with percentage signs, %, around it which are variable markers. Redirection >> works with almost any command and echo doesn't need to be involved. Asking for help with homework is fine, but if you grab a script and run, with no understanding on how it works your script may just impress people enough that they ask you how it works. Now there's a fun situation..... Here's some links that may point you in the right direction: Ipconfig - Youv'e probably already got this..... Copy - Pay attention to plus signs. Md - Make directories Move - Move files. Rd - Remove directories. There I've pratically done it all for you, you said something about money? ;)

Thanks! All this input will help out!
