that works- I still like my alternate datastream idea, though.

How about this:

Code: [Select]

setlocal
for /f %%a in (countit) do set count=%%a
set /a count=count+1
echo %count% >countit

it saves the count in a file called countit and increments everytime its run

Why use FOR, when if does the trick.

Simple:

Code: [Select]

if not exist times.txt echo 0 > times.txt
set /p times=<times.txt
set /a times+=1
echo %times% > times.txt

I suspect its 6 of one,  but I didn't know you could do that with set /p.  Cool tip.
