Solve : Question regarding the title command?

Answer»

Can you do string concatenation with the NT command 'title'?

I would like to concatenate the username (from %USERNAME%) with a title string.

Thanks,

SteveYup.

title %username% Command Window

Put in any leading or TRAILING spaces you may need.

Hope this helps. *off topic
How do you reformat your computer, thank you for helping.Hello Mikepan

Please don't ask a question about a different subject on someone else's POST.

Please post your question about formatting in the Windows forum if you intend formatting then re-installing a Windows OS.

If you intend just re-installing a Dos OS then ask in the DOS forum.

ALWAYS, but always, give some info about your pc EVEN if it's just to say what OS you are using.

Many thanks & looking forward to being of some help to you.Sidewinder,

Excellent help you provided. For those INTERESTED the following code works perfectly:

@echo off
cls
set _friendlyName=%username:.= %
set _titleString=6 MDG Logon Window -- Hello %_friendlyName%
@title %_titleString%
Oh, one point of explanation.

cls
set _friendlyName=%username:.= %

:: The above code takes the dot out of the username
:: Our logon name format is fn.ln
:: The _friendlyName variable is a transform with
:: the dot replaced by a space

set _titleString=6 MDG Logon Window -- Hello %_friendlyName%
@title %_titleString%

Thnaks again for the help!
