samething ... sigh still cannot found the solotion ....

I have try to search from that site you provide me unfortunely I can't find the thing I'm looking for. Any other reference ??

Does anyone know how to use batch file to get user input as variable in Win98/WinMe msdos prompt ? Any help is appreciated !

Does any one how to read variable from *.com or anyone know how to read variable from a text file.Just a row from a text file in Win98 command prompt ? Help is appreciated !!

yes.the random application does help me a lots.Thank you so much ..!! Anyway ... do you know where can I find the batch programming for "for loop syntax".Because I need to use for loop to retrieve the number generate by the random.com to define the variable for it ?

certainly is Win9x batch script language.Any ideal ?

Does anyone have any ideal on how to generate random number / alphanumber in win9x dos ? I need it urgently .Thanks. I have no problem create random number in win2000/NT/XP but I need it in windows 9x.Please help !!

Even this is working but I do think this is not a very good ideal and working for me,since my program will initiliaze the computer name before connect to network. So I hope it would be better to use mac address as computer in dos since mac address for each network card is very unique.So does any one know well in batch script for "FOR" command for windows 98/MSDOS 6.22.

or Maybe I should say I have make a network bootdisk.I like to use the mac address as computer name so that there is not conflict in computer name when there is many computer running together by using the network bootdisk.The "for" which I have place in the previous message was running very well in Windows XP command prompt.But when I try to run it in Win98 bootdisk/MSdos 6.22 ,it show the syntax error. I have totally no ideal on how to correct since I'm very new to batch script ptogramming.I hoping someone could help me to correct it. Thanks.

I think you have misunderstand what i'm saying.What I like to do is I would like to take the mac address in pure dos and convert it to computer name so it won't have conflict computer name.This thing is apply in my network bootdisk. or do you have any other way to generate random computer name in dos ?

I have a problem running "for" command in windows 98 command prompt.I have no problem to run this command in windows XP command prompt.but when I try to execute the "for" command through win98 startup disk to boot the system it return syntax error.The following are the "for" command in my batch file: for /f "tokens=1,2* delims=- " %%1 in ('nbmac') do @echo %%1 %%2 nbmac is a application which i use to retrieve my network card mac address. your guiden is appreciate.thank you.
