how to assign an ip address to a variable in batch

Question

Hi all,

I have assigned ip address to a variable in the following way.

  set /A myvar = 10.0.0.1
  echo %myvar%

but it is giving the result as only 10 not entire ip address.. so can some give the solution for it

Answer 1

Can you put quotation marks around the ip address? "10.0.0.1"

Answer 2

Just don't use /A, its for numerical expressions

set myvar=10.0.0.1
echo %myvar%
//10.0.0.1

Answer 3

Get rid of the /A, then it will work.

echo %myvar%
