I might be wrong but not sure how that helps. Being that an IP address is a
const in the script below, I could skip all the environment stuff and
already have the value.

Anyways I tried not to make this complicated with the first post. I can't
hard code the addresses because each site will have different addresses.
Each site would have script that they would run to get the addresses for
other files. What i actually do is I loop through multiple files that are
named ComputerIP##.bat.

N= a number. I have a "FOR" loop runing. I am running through a FOR loop
that builds each ComputerIP1.bat, ComputerIP2.bat, ComputerIP3.bat, etc.

VBSCRIPT statement
strCommand2 = "cmd.exe /c " & "CALL C:\createparms\Computer" & n & "IP.bat"

N= a number. I have a "FOR" loop runing. I am running through a FOR loop
that builds each ComputerIP1.bat, ComputerIP2.bat, ComputerIP3.bat, etc.

I need to grab each Computer IP address for other commands I am running.

I tried approaching differently meaning opening each file
s= ObjFile.ReadAll

But for some reason I would graB the IP but it would give me an extra line.
Not sure if this was because of carriage return and any other data in file.

I am just looking for the best approach to get a value out of a bat file. If
doing a call to set the variable in volitle memory and using that variable
is not possible then I am open to other approaches. For example, reading the
file. This is just a aprm file with a .bat extension.

Below is the complete layout of file:
SET BUnit=CORP
SET SiteNum=1000
SET SiteSubnet=255.255.255.0
SET SiteGateway=192.168.2.1
SET COMPUTERIP=192.168.2.12
SET ComputerName=
SET POSDNSServer=192.168.2.8,192.168.2.9
