What? Like this: C:\Windows\system32>dir | findstr "audio" | sort 03/02/2006 09:41 16,592 x3daudio1_0.dll 05/03/2007 13:42 17,688 x3daudio1_1.dll 20/11/2010 14:24 126,464 audiodg.exe 20/11/2010 14:25 679,424 audiosrv.dll Agreed, it's not as powerful as *nix shell scripts, but you would be supprised at what can be done with Windows scripts. -- Paul _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/cadwx0+jt81v-fhgsxtwsm0e3ozgcuv217dqu-syyxfej2k+...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
