hello, firstly this is just for fun so its no big deal. Ok i have a batch file that saves what you type. @ECHO OFF setlocal set Name=%~f1 if not exist "%Name%" set /p name=Info??: echo %name% > File.txt But if i want to save the information that comes off help (type in help in the cmd.exe and you get all that help info) what do i do? do or can i make it so that the info about the code be set to a varible like %file%? E.G. @ECHO OFF setlocal set file=(info from about) if not exist "%file%" set /p name=Info??: echo %file% > File.txt Thank you if you can help me. P.s. What is the command "set file=%~f1" for? better yet what is "%~f1"

The following code will save output to a filename entered by you. You should enter the batchfile name followed by the command for which you want info: e.g. BATCHNAME HELP BATCHNAME DIR/? BATCHNAME COPY/? etc. :: Code begins.... @echo off cls set /p outfile=Enter output path\filename: cls echo %1 Command Help: > %outfile% %1 >> %outfile% type %outfile% :: Code ends.... P.s. What is the command "set file=%~f1" for? better yet what is "%~f1" %~f1 would expand the variable %1 to a fully qualified path name. Use the above batch script and For/? to find associated info.

Thanks for that. it worked great.
