HI Using the echo command of Windows 7 SP1, how can I insert, in a text file, an environment variable (like %WINDIR%) without that it is first interpreted by the shell? THANKS BYE Balubeto

You mean something like this (?) echo %WINDIR% Regards Milos

You need to quote the character % with ^. If you want to add your eviroment variable (ex. %WINDIR%) to the file example.txt c:\>echo ^%WINDIR^% >> c:\example.txt c:\>type c:\example.txt c:\>%WINDIR% Gastone Canali >http://www.armadillo.it Se alcuni post rispondono al tuo quesito (non necessariamente i miei), ricorda di contrassegnarli come risposta e non dimenticare di contrassegnare anche i post utili . GRAZIE!
