Hello

I wanted to know if I can pass variable value inside bat file.
E.g. I wanted to run a process with bat file having % to dynamically change values inside the executable bat file.

I am just testing something to see if I can pass arguments inside a bat file. This is just a test for that

@icehouselux
give a try on following:
grafik
filename: FullFilePath of the bat file
Arguments: Your arguments

a bat with following content:
echo hello %1
Pause

was invoked and showed folloing result:
grafik

However maybe a look to the invoke powershell could be an alternate to check for

Kindly note:

  • PAUSE was just use to inspect the result
  • @echo off will surpress the command repetition
