just remember that if you were going to do it that way in the last post, then you need to have sections that when found rat you did the sarch in that file to find all occurances of the next word. Here is a copmlete working solution FINDSTR /I /M /S /C:" hat " *.* > hat.list FINDSTR /I /M /S /B /C:"hat " *.* >> hat.list FINDSTR /I /M /S /E /C:" hat" *.* >> hat.list FINDSTR /I /M /S /C:" cat " *.* > cat.list FINDSTR /I /M /S /B /C:"cat " *.* >> cat.list FINDSTR /I /M /S /E /C:" cat" *.* >> cat.list FINDSTR /I /M /S /C:" rat " *.* > rat.list FINDSTR /I /M /S /B /C:"rat " *.* >> rat.list FINDSTR /I /M /S /E /C:" rat" *.* >> rat.list FINDSTR /I /M /S /C:" cat " /L:hat.list > cat-hat.list FINDSTR /I /M /S /B /C:"cat " /L:hat.list > cat-hat.list FINDSTR /I /M /S /E /C:" cat" /L:hat.list > cat-hat.list FINDSTR /I /M /S /C:" rat " /L:hat.list > rat-hat.list FINDSTR /I /M /S /B /C:"rat " /L:hat.list > rat-hat.list FINDSTR /I /M /S /E /C:" rat" /L:hat.list > rat-hat.list FINDSTR /I /M /S /C:" rat " /L:cat.list > rat-cat.list FINDSTR /I /M /S /B /C:"rat " /L:cat.list > rat-cat.list FINDSTR /I /M /S /E /C:" rat" /L:cat.list > rat-cat.list FINDSTR /I /M /S /C:" hat " /L:rat-cat.list > hat-rat-cat.list FINDSTR /I /M /S /B /C:"hat " /L:rat-cat.list > hat-rat-cat.list FINDSTR /I /M /S /E /C:" hat" /L:rat-cat.list > hat-rat-cat.list That should find all occurances of hat, cat, rat wether it is at the end, beginning, or in the middle of a line in all files on the computer, not just txt files. (barring any typos) Now this should take a while to run. As for the error in the last post, it should just post it to the command line, not the redirect.

your right. But that is you can run several other commands, like redo the search and instead of /c:" hat " you can use /b /c:"hat " that way it will only search at the beginning of the line. I will post the complete answer in a an hours or so.

should be FINDSTR /I /M /S /F:rat.list /C:" hat " > rat-hat.list That way it will search for the literal " hat " in the rat list, and wala you will have a rat-hat list!

almost, you would want to do the /c:" hat " instead of using the /l on the two words. That way you get to find the actual word.

if you really want to send faxes, there are a couple of ways. Internet fasxing is by far the easiest, but i dont know of any free places that will let you send. I would find an adapter for one of your cell phones, that will either mount the phone a a regular dialed modem, or a converter that takes the serial port on it back to a rj-11, and then you can just plug it back into a regular modem. One thing to be careful about is that you need to tell windows that you dont need to wit for a dial tone. If I remember correctly it is in themodem setting in the control panel. If it thinks it should wait, then it will never dial. good luck.

if you want just go in and remove all permissions except you, then log in as a diffrent user and the programs running in user mode wont have access, it would be easier to do it with fast user switching.

wouldnt it be faster to just go into windows manage and rename? 15 seconds flat

you know, doing a findstr /? will give you the complete syntax, but here is how. If you want to find a string literal, hence " rat " you have to use the /c it works better becuase it allows the use of quites. like this. C:\>FINDSTR /I /M /S /C:" rat " *.txt > rat.listThis will find all txt files that contain " rat " in them and it should be case insensitive, hence the /i for it Specifies that the search is not to be case-sensitive. Integrate this, and you whould be done.

Sure, let me organize a couple of my better ones, and I'll post them. If you have any ideas on stuff that would be cool to from prompt, just tell me.

what is important to note is that the /D is sor searching a semicolon delimited list of directories. although I believe that the pings are unneccesary, it should suspend while running the command.

This is a little onld, but still alost entirely vaild. http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/active.shtml http://www.kylyria.net/kylyria_tutorial/tutorial.htm also google for help creating "active desktop"

I have been batch scripting since 1983, not kidding. I grew up on it, so when new commands came out, I just added them to my memory. If people want really in depth batch help, not a problem. You can do just about anything from prompt. And with vbs, you can access just about any part of windows that you want. If someone tells me where they want me to put some knowledge then just ask, be happy to help. As for the quesiton. The first three lines are perfect, you will find all occurances of rat in a.list, hat in b.list, and cat in c.list. Now the next three lines need some help. then you do findstr you need to still tell it what you are looking for. In line 4, you are telling it to look for the letter b in a.list. I think that you want to be looking for hat, not a like this. C:>\FINDSTR /S /L /M /F:a.list hat > a-b.list then just repeat for the other entries, in lines 5, 6 you are looking for the string "c" If you changes the c to cat etc, you will have the right answers! Tell me how it goes!

you can use the drivepacks or just go and look at how to integrate at http://unattended.msfn.org/intermediate/drivers/intro.htm

That is overkill Just download and can add in runonce or in the other methods. "dotnetfx.exe /q /c:\"msiexec /I netfx.msi /qn\" And it is already silent. (you need the qoutes) this is in the reunonce in the svcpack.inf do it like this "dotnetfx.exe /q /c:""msiexec /I netfx.msi /qn""" If you want to install the update ( I havent downloaded it together) "KB867460.exe /Q /I"

how complicated do you want to get. If you want to kiss it then just have it work, modify the program so that it looks at the local registry for the connection string and the URL. Then all you have to do is on a local install (clicent side) just a** a text box for thoes two fields, and then have them write to the reg with the other install keys.
