Re: Test string for <, > or %

Why are you doing this ?

Re: Color in batch programs

Any comments on the differences between the "colorshow.exe" and "out.exe" utilities?

p.s. it is difficult to search the forum for "out.exe" because it won't search the whole string, but rather separates them into two words and refuses to run the search.
