Batch-file variable (win xp pro)

[mmainio]

Hello,

How can I pick currently logged-in-user and use that as variable in my batch file?

I wanted to copy some files into c:\my documents\user X\some folder but the problem in path is that "user X".

Is there easy way to "read" that and use variable for it?

In Windows XP at least, you have the following variables:

%Userprofile% = "X:\Documents And Settings\Username".. if you have windows installed on C and the user name is Cow, then it'll return "C:\Documents And Settings\Cow"

%Username%="Username".. would just return "Cow" (I think this is the one you want)

These assume you have WinXP though.. I don't use other systems, so I can't help you otherwise.

Following on from DarkPhoenix's post;

If you open a console (DOS) window and type "set" you will see a list of all the variables and their current values.

To use these in your batch file enclose them in "% %" symbols as you can see in DarkPhoenix's examples.
