MasterRat MasterRat Fresh Scripter Registered: 2005-12-08 Posts: 5	Ok.. I've been fighting with the SET command for about 90 minutes now... It refuses to write the variable to the HKCU\Environment. It doesn't give me an error, it just won't put it in there. Examples of syntax I've tried : SET VAR="MISCTEXT" SET "VAR"="MISCTEXT" SET VAR = "MISCTEXT" SET VAR = $MISCTEXT And many other options.. I'm missing something... but what?

I've got the 85 pages of command and macro reference RIGHT next to me... I've looked at the set commands a dozen times over, yet... NOW it works?! I'm going to go for a long walk off a short pier now... Be back later.

MasterRat MasterRat Fresh Scripter Registered: 2005-12-08 Posts: 5	Allen, It does not work. Just doesn't do anything. Which brings me to my next question, null issues aside.. Since the SET command sets the variable which is not readable by Kix (since it hasn't updated its session, if I'm right?), how can you reference the variable that was set later in the script? Also, does anyone know where I can find a listing of the USE error codes? I have two drives returning 2250 for their error code.

Allen Allen KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-04-19 Posts: 4567 Loc: USA	Did you check @serror? How about posting the code? I bet you have some functions outputing to the screen and the 2250 is something more along the lines of 2,2,5,0 errors.

MasterRat MasterRat Fresh Scripter Registered: 2005-12-08 Posts: 5	I had the following in the script for testing : USE U: /DELETE ? "U: @ERROR" Which output U: 2250 I do, infact have a U: mapped, so I'm not sure how Gargoyle's answer could be.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	and replacing @ERROR with @SERROR proves the given error text correct. what comes to your set issues... I guess, you should let us know what you are up to. as it seems that you are just trying to make things lot more complicated than they are. _________________________ ! download KiXnet
