Actually I want to do this (done in UNIX)...

varname=`command`

...in windows.

This runs 'command' and the resulting output of 'command' is stored in
varname.

So I need to run a command and then store the output of that command in
a variable for later use. In UNIX this is easy, just put the command
into back-quotes and place it in the variable you want the results to be
stored in. It doesn't work this was in the Windows shell.

 

Is there anybody out there who knows how to do this in Windows?

 

Thank you.

 

Jason
