What I would like to do is be able to take a variable with spaces in it and make a file with the name of the variable, as such: set /p address=Enter the address: Echo. >> %address%.txt All it does is copy the first word of %address% to the filename. I was wondering if you could take out the spaces within the variable, and then maybe do as the following: Echo. >> "%word1% %word2%.txt" I would also like this in batch only if possible. crappy OEM comptuers...

EDIT: Got it to work. echo. >> "%address%".txt Then if you want it in a different directory, first cd to the directory of the folder "%address%".txt is located. copy "%address%".txt "your\new\location" crappy OEM comptuers...

This can be done using Visual Basic scripting: 1.Create a batch file with the following line: wscript string.vbs 2.Create a new txt file: string.txt 3.Rename string.txt to string.vbs 4.Enter the following lines in the vbs file: Dim x Dim s x=inputbox("enter address:") s = replace(x," ","") x=s+".txt" Msgbox(x) 5. Execute the batch file: x will be the filename adress.txt If you enter 'my new documents' when prompted for address: x will be mynewdocuments.txt

Well I originally thought I couldn't get spaces within a filename, so then I wanted to try getting rid of the spaces. Also, Visual Basic is a lil confusing to me XP crappy OEM comptuers...
