   How do I “capture” text on the screen into a variable in a batch file?    
   Specifically, this is what I need to do:   
      
   1.	The batch file will issue a command to check the status of something in the   
   PC.   
   2.	The PC will respond with about 6 lines of text on the screen (the 3rd line   
   is blank).   
   3.	I need to capture that text.   
   4.	The batch file will then check the first three words on the 4th line of   
   text and will then GOTO depending on the first three words.   
      
   I need some help with steps 3 & 4.   
      
   For step 3, how do I capture that text as it is displayed on the screen? I   
   assume it goes into a variable but I don’t know how to get that screen text   
   into a variable.   
      
   For step 4, how do I get the batch file to look at the first three words on   
   line four?   
      
   Thanks!
