quote:
saw once batch files were remarks were started with ::
The :: remark syntax relies on the fact that %COMSPEC% sees the double colon as an invalid label and ignores the line completely, where REM'd lines are parsed just like any command line. So using :: can speed up execution of batch files with good commenting considerably.
And the best source for NT batch scripting is the alt.msdos.batch.nt newsgroup. If it can be done in batch someone there has done it.
