Hi guys,

Is there something wrong with my set statement? I'm getting "The system cannot find the file specified."
But dir /a /s /OG D:\FYP\piclog |find /v "<DIR>" | find /c "M" alone returns a proper integer value, 21 etc.



set /A count="dir /a /s /OG D:\FYP\piclog |find /v "<DIR>" | find /c "M""

echo.%count%

Use a FOR /F loop to receive a value from a command line:

Thanks! but my command prompt window closes right after it runs, even with a pause at the end. Any idea what is wrong?

EDIT: It says | was unexpected at this time.
