CD Label information?

[Squeezer]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows of a dos based program that will print the cd label information. Windows has a program, if you type label d: at the command prompt, it will print the cd label, but then prompts you to print enter. Does anyone know of a way to get the cd label info without prompting? I tried vol d: but it does not give you the label info, just the volume. Any ideas? Thanks!

What OS are you running? Under Windows XP, the vol command displays the drive label for me.

Anyway, the behavior of the label command under Windows XP is as follows:
1) It prompts for a "Volume Label (ENTER for none)?"
2) If you hit ENTER at the first prompt, it then prompts you "Delete Current Volume Label (Y/N)?"

To execute the label command such that it doesn't sit there waiting for input, do the following:
1) Create a TEXT FILE (lets call it label_input.txt) in Notepad.exe with 2 lines of data:
[*] Leave the first line blank line (i.e. just hit ENTER in Notepad)
[*] Make the 2nd line the character "n" (and hit ENTER)
[*] Save the file and exit notepad

2) Now in a Command Prompt / DOS Window, type: label d: < label_input.txt
The < operator re-directs INPUT from the specified FILE (instead of from the keyboard)

Note: Modify the label_input.txt text file based on the behavior of the label under the OS you're running.

thanks for the reply, it helped out a lot. I had an error in my script that was confusing me as well.
