Solve : how to assign OS ver to a variable??

1.	Solve : how to assign OS ver to a variable??
Answer» I NEED to identify the OS version (W2K or WXP) as a variable in a DOS Bat file. example.......based on which OS run prog1.exe or prog2.exe can't find the command to assign the contents of VER into a variable. thanxThis code NEEDS to be in a batch file: Code: [Select] for /f "tokens=1-4*" %%a in ('ver') do (if %%c==XP (prog1) else (prog2)) HOPE this helps. Gee! FOR's are so POPULAR we'll have to BRING back our two for one sale.There should be a variable %OS%. if "os"=="XP" (prog1) else (prog2) So you can save one FOR loop. ;-) Please correct me if I am wrong. uli
