@ECHO OFF
REM DRAFT script by dotBATman
REM Dependency; JAVA.EXE in current path
IF EXIST \"%temp%\\javaver_%computername%.txt\" DEL \"%temp%\\javaver_%computername%.txt\"
REM Call :CHKVER Version UpdateStart UpdateEnd
CALL :CHKVER 1.3.1 1 24
CALL :CHKVER 1.4.2 1 19
CALL :CHKVER 1.5.0 1 17
CALL :CHKVER 1.6.0 1 12
REM Handle the file
ECHO Supported Java JRE version(s):
TYPE \"%temp%\\javaver_%computername%.txt\"
GOTO EOF
:CHKVER
FOR /L %%f IN (%2,1,%3) DO @java -version:%1_%%f>NUL&IF ERRORLEVEL 1 (ECHO>NUL) ELSE ECHO %computername%,%1_%%f>>\"%temp%\\javaver_%computername%.txt\"
GOTO EOF
:EOF
