Answer» Booted to Win98 DOS Floppy
Working on creating new boot floppy (later to boot CD) for GHOST & Diagnostics.
I am trying to capture & parse the OUTPUT (console) from FINDCD.COM utility.
findcd.com -a finds all the CD drives and outputs a string to the console (CRT)
ie A:> DEF
findcd.com -a -e returns the 1st CD (# i.e. 4 = D:) to ERRORLEVEL which I can ENUMERATE,
but only the 1st drive found.
I could REDIRECT: findcd.com -a > cd.txt but cannot READ the file.
for /f %i (cd.txt) do echo %i does not work because Win98 DOS does not have the /f flag.
I would really like to read and parse the output string to 3 variables so that I can display (format) a user message.
i.e.
%CDROM0%=D
%CDROM1%=E
%CDROM2%=F
I could also pipe the output, but to what command?
Any help would be greatly appreciated from the experts !
