[Veritas-bu] URGENT AND HELP Quickest Way to Freeze Tapes

Use 

        for /F "tokens=<whatever>" %a in ('vmquery -r <robot number>')
do bpmedia -freeze -m %a 

Some refinement will be necessary, but a single command line will do.

Remove vmquery headers by:

        for /F "tokens=<whatever>" %a in ('vmquery -r <robot number>')
do echo %a | find "<header text>" || bpmedia -freeze -m %a

Not sure how awk and a for x loop are gonna work on windows unless you
