Solve : Batch file: how take program output as a variable??

1.	Solve : Batch file: how take program output as a variable??
Answer» Hello everyone, I am trying to accomplish what seems like a simple task, but having a hard TIME of it. What I want to do is TAKE the text output of a command line program and have it stored as a variable inside of a batch program. For example: the 'ver' command outputs the local os version: C:\&GT;ver Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195] How can I take that output and get it to a variable? Thank you for any INFORMATION at all!! katsuThis may help you out: Code: [Select] for /f "tokens=1* delims=#" %%a in ('ver') do set var=%%a The delims=# forces an override of the default delimiters of space and tab. Hope this helps. PERFECT!! That's exactly what I needed! Thank you very MUCH Sidewinder katsu
