Thank you Steffen. Correct- didn't understand what code tags are. No clue from what Sounak@9434 wrote. Very rarely use forums. 1st time, I think, ever posted a full DOS batch. Just prepared in text editor, copy/paste and submit. Didn't look for any whistles and bells. Wouldn't have recognized Code i...

Have been hoping someone would post reply to Sounak@9434 >30 years using DOS. Never saw (or don't recognize) "Code tags" Never seen in many searches for additional command syntax and details. Additional clarification would be appreciated. Just curious. Assume posted here as possible batch ...

Greatly enhanced Math batch. Works perfectly. Note also 2nd called batch (Value verifier used twice)= M-CkV Methinks great interface. Well commented for those who are interested.

Do Echo !R%%I! This result was trial and error. Will have to do much more research to truly understand variab...

Thank you very much, indeed. Call echo works perfectly. Completely unfamiliar with this technique. Found no reference anywhere with many! hours searching many sites. Very frustrating. Note: Have used DOS batches for about 30 years. And Norton techniques until no longer usable. Have big DOS purchase...

Trying to display a series of stored environment variables. For example: Set R1=1.1 Set R2=2.2 Set R3=3.3 Set R#=3 Set #=1 Tried several variations of "for" commands. None worked. Cannot echo variables containing replaceable parameter. Echos of complete individual variables works fine, e.g...
