BAT-HINT #5
**************************************************************************
from the BATHINTS library... part of the BATPOWER CONFERENCE from:
THE PAINFRAME OPUS/FIDO 261/1004
Baltimore, Maryland 1-301-488-7461
**************************************************************************
SETPATH.ARC
SETPATH.ARC contains two files... SETBATH.BAT and SETPATH.DOC... and
is now available in the BATPOWER files area. This batch file makes use
of four programs available in BATPOWER.ARC... answer.com, flip.com,
pushdir.com and popdir.com and provides one example of how to
use environmentable variables and redirection to accomplish complex
tasks with batch files. SETPATH.BAT allows for rapid editing of the path
environmental variable and features a scheme for quickly restoring the
value of PATH to either its original value set in the autoexec.bat or the
value prior to the last setpath.bat command.
For more information on environmental variables see BAT-HINT #4.
