Howard,
That part works. All I am doing that is reading the extra lines out before I get the lines I want to read in the smbios text file. I have displayed the computers serial number, model and make on the screen to make sure they picked up. My problem is where it shell's out to an echo command that filters it to the h:\cinfo.txt file.
