Hey guys,

I'm just trying to write a small batch file here at the moment, but was wondering if anybody could help me out with a couple of problems I'm having.

I'm trying to create a file which a user can run on their desktop, which puts a bunch of system relevant information into a text file and displays it back to them.

What I'd like to do is write a batch file which grabs %username% and %computername% and dumps them to c:\computerinfo.txt and then executes notepad and displays it back to the user. I'm fine with all the variables etc but I'm wondering if anybody knows a way to pump the data from the raw command line to a text file? I thought it was something like | or print but I cannot remember and all the resources I find at the moment are for linux.

On the same topic too, does anybody know the % variable for finding an IP address??

Thanks in advance if you can help me out or point me in the right direction!

there's no variable I'm aware of for your ip addresses, but: http://www.ericphelps.com/batch/samples/ip.txt

champion!

thanks jim!!

ipconfig >> ip.txt replace ip.txt with the name of your text file that you have the other crap in
