#178093 - 2007-07-19 06:21 PM Passing DOS variables into Kixtart
Icebun Icebun Fresh Scripter Registered: 2007-07-19 Posts: 8 Loc: UK	Can someone please advise on the syntax to grab some DOS environmental variables (on WIndows Server 2003 and XP) into a Kixtart variable. I am trying to pass the APPDATA path into a Kixtart variable. This is so I can detect the presence of a file in the above path and delete it. Thanks.

Code: If InStr(%APPDATA%, 'xyzzy') ; do stuff the change the APPDATA variable EndIf Glenn _________________________ Actually I am a Rocket Scientist! $\:D$

Since I was playing in '77 at college, and in '79 on CP/M, in computer years, that's a long time ago. Hell, even in people-years, it's a pretty long time ago.
