   Hi All,   
      
   Figured it out.   
      
   Is it just me, or does batch programming make you pull your   
   hair out!

   How to extract a segment of a line from a file into a variable:   
      
      
   File (profiles.ini):   
      
   [General]   
   StartWithLastProfile=1   
      
   [Profile0]   
   Name=default   
   IsRelative=1   
   Path=Profiles/syx22zx0.default   
      
      
      
      
   To extract "syx22zx0.default"   
   set Profile=%AppData%\Thunderbird\profiles.ini   
      
   for /f "tokens=1,2,3 delims=^=/" %a in ('type "%Profile%" ^| find /i   
   "path"') do set   
   SentPath=%AppData%\Thunderbird\Profiles\%c\Mail\pop.secureserver.net\Sent   
      
      
      
   C:\NtUtil>dir "%SentPath%"   
     Volume in drive C has no label.   
     Volume Serial Number is 882D-E570   
      
     Directory of   
   C:\Users\RSA\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\syx22zx0.default   
   \Mail\pop.secureserver.net

                   0 Dir(s)  174,087,081,984 bytes free   
      
      
   Note: use two %% around for variables in a batch file
