1.	Solve : How to set a variable to the result of a command?
Answer» I am trying to write a a BAT file that can do something like this: Set myvar=findstr "look for this text" In_This_File.txt The result of any command into a variable. How is it DONE? You need to execute your PROGRAM within a subshell with the variable expansion DELAYED: cmd /v: on then, you can execute: Code: [Select]set var= for /f "tokens=*" %%A in ('findstr "look for this text" file.txt') do set myVar=!myVar!%%A echo %myVar% [size=56]THANKS![/size] You have no idea on how much I have been searching the NET for that. Now, I just have to figure out what it actually does. :-) It works nicely though, I just tested it.
