Solve : MSDOS8 for Windows98?

Answer»

Hello,
I've made a DOS shell under Windows 2000 with instruction FINDSTR and SET VAR1=%VAR:~-9%.

I would like to use the same shell under Win98 but these instructions (MSDOS 8 , i think) don't work.

Is it possible to upgrade the MSDOS version of win98 to be ABLE to use these instructions ?

Thanks

Not that I know of - but it will be interesting to see what others have to say.

Not exactly sure of what you are trying to do - NEED more details. There might be a way to do it though. Possibly with some third party utility programs.
Google for grep dos and see what you find.

As far as setting environment variables, I BELIEVE that works the same.
Ex: set somevar=foofoo



Not compatible. MSDOS 8 is the embedded DOS in WinMe and will royally SCREW a 98/98se system, insisting that you upgrade or install Me. You won't even be able to reinstall 98 without wiping the system.In fact i'm more interested by new instruction (win2000) SET (ex : SET VAR1=%VAR:~-9%) than the grep
in roder to extract a part of one string
