With the huge amount of information you've provided I'm not really surprised no one has responded to you yet.
Read this:

More information on what exactly the script should do would also be very helpful.

You obviously didn't read the message at the link supplied by DeerPark so here are some extracts...

Quote
List as much about your computer as possible. This includes operating system (what version of Windows you are using), service packs, computer make/model, RAM, hard drive, sound and video cards, current adware/spyware/virus programs being used on a regular basis, do you have a "real" Windows CD, etc.

Post in the appropriate forum. Do not start a thread in "Programming" if you need help with a specific program. That would go in "Software". If you post in the DOS forum please specify if it is "real DOS" and what version or some sort of Command Prompt from with Windows, and what version of Windows. There are differences some subtle, and some very important. These tips ensure that the people most likely to help will see your posts.

Quote
Realize that this is a volunteer forum. Don't expect instant solutions to all of your problems or be abusive to those who try to help. We donate our time as we can. If you want to pay $75+ an hour for support, there are plenty of repair shops that can and will take your money.  We cannot see your machine. We can only suggest based on the pertinent data you post. Again, more is better. Too little is pointless.

Quote
You cannot give too much information about the system. Withholding information seldom solves a problem quickly, if at all. Please don't expect us to drag information out of YOU to solve YOUR problem.

So what is it, a desktop/laptop/notebook?  Standalone MS-Dos, Win 3.1 or Vista.

This really really does sound like homework. I get the feeling a lot of schools have just started computer classes in the last week or two.

11victory11. these guys have lined up to try to help you.  they've given you their time for free and I'm sure would have also have given you the answers you want for free but you have ignored their requests for information which is necessary in order to ensure their answers are correct, or as near to correct as can be.  What's wrong with telling your willing helpers what pc you are using and what the operating system is and how your batch file will be used etc...???

You're very hard to understand, you call for help then ignore requests for information which is necessary to help you.

Some people are very hard to help. Complaining about the help ypu're getting like this person did puts people off helping. Especially since he could have found this out by a simple Google search.
