Solve : DOS batch scripting to identify JAVA version?

1.	Solve : DOS batch scripting to identify JAVA version?
Answer» good DAY. I'm kinda new here. I want to ask if is there a way for a batch (.bat) file to retreive and parse the message of a java command (say "java -version"). then later on identify the type of version it reflected through a nested if STATEMENT? (e.g. if ERRORLEVEL == "1.4.2_12 goto lower). I would appreciate if somebody could help me out with these. Thank you very much. I was able to redirect the STDERR STREAM to a file. For whatever reason, java did not SEEM to OUTPUT to STDOUT. Code: [Select]@echo off java -version 2> java.txt for /f "tokens=3" %%x in ('find /i "java version" java.txt') do ( if %%~x==1.6.0_03 goto label3 if %%~x==1.6.0_02 goto label2 if %%~x==1.6.0_01 goto label1 if %%~x==1.4.2_12 goto label0 ) . . . del java.txt
