vbasic would work but probably overkill? Just depends.

On a command prompt do 'help set' to see how to mess around with command script vars. At one point I had all sorts of crazy scripts to build and do things. These days I do it in python or C. You eventually get to the point you need functions and batch files just dont cut it. I may have the '%' bits wrong up above. As sometimes you need to do %%ERRORLEVEL%% inside of command files. So you will have to mess around with it a bit. I am doing this off the top of my head (its been a long time) so you will have to mess with it.

I assume you are trying to create some sort of sub directory that contains the version number. You may also while you are building actually have it just go ahead and create the directory. I have done that in the past too as the program that is doing the compiling usually knows the version number anyway...
