Richard wins the prize.. :-)

Jochen,
Thank you for your input and perhaps helping others to see what I was looking for.

cj,
This website shows the use of FOR as well as some of the other batch commands. http://www.labmice.net/articles/batchcmds.htm

Tom,
I was not able to get yours to work, but thank you for the input.

Richard,
You made it work, thank you much... Here is final code I got to work.

code:

---

BREAK ON
$SQ="'"
$DQ='"'
$CRLF="char(13) + char(10)"
$Command="for /f " + $DQ + "tokens=*" + $DQ + " %%a in (" + $SQ + "dir c:\*.mpg /s /b " + $SQ + " " + $SQ + $SQ + "dir c:\*.asf /s /b " + $SQ + " " + $SQ + "dir c:\*.mov /s /b " + $SQ + ") do (copy " + $DQ + "%%a" + $DQ + "  H:\MOVIES)"
IF Open( 1 , "%windir%\GETFILE.BAT" , 5 )  = 0
	WriteLine( 1 , "$Command")
	ELSE
		? "failed to open file, error code : [" + @ERROR + "]"
ENDIF

For the clarification of others who may want to use your code sample, I think you had a typo

code:

---

Your line was missing "  "
$CRLF=char(13) + char(10)
New line
$CRLF="char(13) + char(10)"

Thanks again to everyone...
