| Hi progGoon, This ain't pretty, but it works. I assume from your last question that you are looking for the netbios name on Win9x. :: -------GETNAME.BAT---------- @echo off set pcname= echo. > 00 nbtstat -n|find "<00> UNIQUE">set.dat echo. >>set.dat date <set.dat | find "<00>">setit.bat ECHO SET PCNAME=%%4>ENTER.BAT call setit.bat del 00 del set.dat del setit.bat del enter.bat del unique ECHO %PCNAME% :: -------GETNAME.BAT---------- pb |

| Hi again, This one does the same thing, but is a lot less complicated. It returns the computer name as "\\PCNAME" rather than "PCNAME" :: -------GETNAME.BAT---------- @ECHO OFF NET CONFIG|FIND "Computer Name">~GETIT.BAT ECHO SET PCNAME=%2>COMPUTER.BAT CALL COMPUTER.BAT DEL GETIT.BAT DEL COMPUTER.BAT ECHO %PCNAME% :: -------GETNAME.BAT---------- pb (Why didn't I think of this earlier?) |

| Pbarrette, your batch file doesnt seen to find the name, just outputs echo is OFF. (i tested it on XP could that be why?) VGR Yes please! |

| Hi progGoon, It's because you tested it on XP. If you run it on Win9x, it will work flawlessly. pb |

| Windows NT based operating systems (NT, 2000, XP) have a system variable called "computername" - you can access this by entering: ... %computername% ... where ... are commands preceding or following the computername. For example, if you want to save a computer's IP configuration you could say: ipconfig /all > %computername%.txt (mind you, this will create a file ".txt" if run on win9x/me, but on NT Based os', if the computer name was "mypc" then the file created would be "mypc.txt") |

| Sumotimor has got the right idea. Don't know about 95/98/ME but type in: echo %computername% > %computername%.txt eg. my computer name is powder. If i execute the above at a prompt I will get a file called powder.txt and within that file will be the word powder. |

| Hi TFL, Both you and sumotimor are correct about the %COMPUTERNAME% variable in NT/2K/XP, but I was making the assumption that Chinswain was looking for a solution to be used on Win98. Always glad to be of service, pb |
