HI folks,


Maybe I'm a bit slow on the uptake but this imho should
work.

USing Timo from FInland's little tool basexten.exe to
capture the extension of a file to an environ var.
Say in this case, the current nodelist, so we capture it as
an environ var of 091 as %BASEXTEN% when called for.

So then we try to look for
if exist NODELIST.%BASEXTEN% goto yes
goto nope

OF course "yes and "nope" indicate to us which we got.

I've found this before iirc when trying to look for a file
with an extension indicated by an environment variable.  OF
course this is dos 6.22.
THoughts anyone?


Regards,
           Richard
