Solve : Environment Variable Substitution.?

Answer»

Win XP SP.2

Will someone please run the following and explain why the output is so weird.  I've read and re-read the explanation of substitution but can't understand why ka is not substituted for A.

Edit: Forget the request, my brain finally kicked in and I worked it out. but STILL don't know how it ever comes to an end....  Worked that out too, it's been a long day...

Thanks

Code: [Select]echo off
set /p name=Enter name:

Typical of me, unravelled the mystery about ten seconds after posting my query and knowing how deleting ones own posts is frowned upon decided to let it run. 

Can't remember why I would have saved your file but thank you for your code Devcom and if you've had experience in auto translating Katakana Morse code to display in Roman FONT in any version of Basic I'd like a few pointers.

To solve my query I amended the script to give the output below:
Quote
Name entered = A
 
A ka
B ka
C ka
D ka
E ka
F ka
G ka
H ka
I ka
J ka
K mea
L mea
M rinea
N ritoea
O ritmoea
P ritmoea
Q ritmoea
R shiitmoea
S arihiitmoea
T arihiichimoea
U arihiichimoea
V arihiichimoea
W arihiichimoea
X arihiichimoea
Y arihiichimoea
Z arihiichimoea
 
 
Final name expansion = 
 "arihiichimoea"


V..    Code: [Select]echo off
:MAIN
set spa=0
set num=0
set /p fullname=Enter name:

:LOOP
