If you run NT, 2K, or XP, your command line shell is CMD.EXE, and you get the extended batch language. If you run Win(X, your command line shell is COMMAND.COM, and you get standard DOS batch. IIRC, what you did is doable in standard batch, too, but a lot more convoluted. In a Win9X environment, I install JP Software's 4DOS, a drop in shareware replacement for COMMAND.COM that adds a plethora of features to the batch language, as well as vastly improving command line usage. I believe the extensions were added to CMD.EXE with NT4. > ::Note that the "FOR /F" command is an extended command. I know > ::not what that means, but it is part of my standard XP install.
