Currently, I found a script in another forum that will tell me the version of Internet Explorer installed onto the computer. I need to know how to parse this information The Script Echo Get IE Version SET KEY=Reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Version Vector" FOR /F "tokens=1 delims=" %%A in ('%KEY%' ) DO ( ECHO %%A ) @pause The Result HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Version Vector IE REG_SZ 7.0000 VML REG_SZ 1.0 WLPG REG_SZ 3 I just want the 7 or 6. I don't need anything else. I do not want the rest of it. Can someone help put me in the right direction or provide a script that will accomplish this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Wayne

If you want the full version number take the "." out of delims.... set alias=Reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Version Vector" FOR /F "TOKENS=3 DELIMS=. " %%A IN ('%alias%^|FIND /I "IE"') DO ECHO %%A I normally wouldn't use the variable myself, but it makes it easier to read on the forum so I copied it... "I just want the 7 or 6. I don't need anything else. I do not want the rest of it." Don't forget the 8, they are pushing it out via windows update now and apparently some this don't display quite right.....

Why wouldn't you use the variable? That worked phenomenally. Thanks. I was searching for hours trying to figure out how to do this. I am a beginner to beginner-intermediate on batch files. Every time I think that I know something and am doing good I read more and more that make me think WOW, there is a hell of a lot more to know about these things than what I know. lol

Why wouldn't you use the variable? Because it's static information, personally I find it easier use that type of thing as is, one less variable/chunk of memory in use... There is no nothing wrong with using it if you like, just one of those little habits of mine I guess.
