assing [ComputerName] to szLine parameter
hii...
i want to assign or say pass [computerName] to parameter szLine of
predefine function EzBatchAddString (szLine, szRefKey, nOptions).
i want to do it because i want to set the environment variable in batch file to
this value(ComputerName)
But when i set
szline=[ComputerName]
or
szLine=ComputerName
the compiler complaints for an error...
can u plz tell me how can i achieve this.
thanks

I would suggest to first retrieve the value of ComputerName environment variable in a string and then pass it on to another function. Use GetEnvVar function to resolve the environment variable value:
GetEnvVar("ComputerName", sCompName);
Then use sCompName like any other variable in the Ez functions.
GetEnvVar("ComputerName", sCompName);
Then use sCompName like any other variable in the Ez functions.

Tough...I can tell but I have to recompile it. Since I am a lazy guy, would you mind copy the errors you are encountering? Please....

You'll want to add a semicolon after this line:
STRING sCompname
to make it:
STRING sCompname;
