XSET 5.29 : Extended SET Instruction
(C) 1991-1998 Stern Marc
Everything you always wanted to put in an environment variable
but were afraid to ask DOS, NT or OS/2 for . . .
XSET: The easy way to write efficient batch files.
XSET allows you to put EVERYTHING you want in a variable of
the current environment and use it as if you had assigned it the
value with the standard DOS command 'SET'. You will be able to
write very efficient batch files including string manipulation,
calculation, ...
XSET is the most powerful environment variable manipulation
program you have ever seen. It also has a very easy and intuitive
user interface (very close to the 'SET' command). It is not a
resident program; so it will not interfere with any of your
other applications.
XSET is fully compatible with MS-DOS (from 3.30), DR-DOS, NDOS,
4DOS, OS/2, Windows 95/98 and Windows NT.
XSET has seven major features:
- XSET permits you to catch the output of any command (internal or
external) or program and put it into an environment variable.
- XSET has built-in commands to modify the output of a program or a
string given on the command-line (extract a part of a string, ...)
- XSET has a built-in full floating-point calculation functionality:
You can program incremental loops, input a calculation string and
output the resulting number, ...
- XSET can manage variable contents of more than 128 characters (your
path can now be as long as you want).
- XSET has other built-in commands to give you access to some system
data (date, time, ...)
- XSET has built-in commands to clear the whole environment or restore
a previously saved one.
- XSET gives you access to high-level input/output user interface
(line-editing, colors, windows, boxes, ...).
