1.	Solve : Can U break up a string, in a batch file??
Answer» If this topic has been previous posted I appologize but I did not find anything SIMILAR to this when I was searching the DATABASE regarding strings. Question: Can you break a string up into subtrings. I know you can do this in UNIX but can you do this using a batch file? You have a string, "abc", and you break up the string into characters and assign those characters to different variables. For example: str = abc chr1 = a chr2 = b chr3 = c Like before, any comment or SUGGESTIONS are always welcome. thank you.I figure it out. Ok, that's not entirely true. I found an example on the net regarding substring: %VAR:~n,m% where n is the starting position (from zero) and m the substring's LENGTH. So, if VAR is set to "My pretty girl", %VAR:~3,6% identifies the substring "pretty". n may have negative values meaning it REFERS to the end of the variable.
