    making bat files count is a pain in the ass. I'm not exactly sure what your assignment is but I have a couple comments.

    First figure it out and do it yourself it's a great way to learn things. Having one of us do it for you won't help you at all, especially if the teacher asks you to explain what you've done.

    Second why do a bat file, is this the requirement of the project? This could easily be done in a spreadsheet or even with simple math if your only problem is to figure out how many times 3 or 4 goes into a range of numbers.

    Some tips to your bat file.....Bat files can't do math. They can only count by 1's so you have to keep droping the result to a text file and pulling it back in. When the text file equals a certain number you can then drop it to another text file and set up a counter so you keep measuring in one test file and updating the counter in the other. Then compare against your total. Seriously and it's even more difficult then it sounds, huge, HUGE, HUGE pain in the ass.

    Spreadsheet then it's the easiest way for you to keep track of anything.
