You could see that with my example.
I mentioned earlier that you will have trouble using the strings in a batch file - with all the poison characters. Your response was that they are only going to the screen.

but im confused... the solution was to run endlocal and on the same line run the set var=%var%. my limited example shows that running for up to 20 vars. yes you are correct though in that i wanted the output to be the screen, but didn't add that i wanted to save the string to a var if specified.. my bad.. so there is no way to condense what i have working then?
