$pat = `echo \%path\%` This should direct output of the echo command to $path variable.
But this is not happening,but it displays output to the screen instead. I ran this script in around 200 systems(windows 95 + windows 98),130 out of them produced the required output ,as remining failed. What may be stoping this to happen?.What is scope of the problem to look around. Please help me...
