Pegasus,
I had major problems testing the code you posted - it was
some time before I worked out that the cause was not your script but the
character set.
On 'copying and pasting' your posted script, the "bar" redirectional
character did not come out as 0x7C but came out as 0xDD instead thus
wrecking the functionality of the batch file.
Just thought you might like to know as it might be a bit of a hazard if
it were code given to help someone who was not so well acquainted with
batch programming as Mr dash...
