Can anyone tell me of a good, resourceful place to go on the internet to
find out how to use "enviroset" in a DOS batch file?  I need to write a
batch program (and obviously I'm a newbie) that will call a setup.exe (no
problem) but then I need the batch program to search the machine for a
specific text file and then based on whether or not the text file was found,
I need to set a DOS variable to yes/no, true/false whatever, to represent
finding/not finding the text file.
Much thanks,
Jill

What is 'enviroset'?  What version of 'DOS' (i.e., Windows) are you
using?  An excellent source of information is the alt.msdos.batch
newsgroup.

Dear Jill,
As I am no programmer, I am not sure what you mean, but for verifying the
existence of a file you can use the "ifexist" command of DOS:

ifexist <drive, path, filename> then <whatever command>

(I used it in DOS 6, but a warning: When I tried it with diskettes it worked
only if any diskette was in drive A: and if A: was empty, the batch file
came to a halt. Probably you can fix that, using errorlevel or error code
returns.

Make it easy,
Erol

Here's an example for the c drive.

DIR/A-D/B/S c:\*.* |FIND.EXE "filename.any" >nul
IF not errorlevel=1 SET found=yes

Outsider
