I'm looking for as many intermediate level batch file examples as possible that will work in an XP command line environment. The cooler the script the better.

Thanks in advance!

863609 2010-03-03 08:38:00 Do a search in google, thats why its there. Here's some examples (www.computerhope.com) and here (www.dostips.com). I would read first before you run it. Just in case it deletes something Speedy Gonzales (78)
863610 2010-03-03 08:42:00 set yourvariable=value
echo Your text goes here
echo Data stored in yourvariable is %yourvariable%
pause

Nice basic stuff :)

echo - Prints text to screen
set XX=YY - declares variable XX and sets value to YY
pause - stops execution and waits for a key
%variable% - uses data stored in variable
