Batch file with command line input

Zone: Windows Programming

Tags: file, batch, input, command, line

I have an application that passes command line parameters to an exe or a batch file. I want to create a batch file that takes this command line input and does an operation (copy and paste a file) and then execute an exe passing the same command line variables.

The problem that I am having is that I am not quite sure how to get the command line inputs from the batch file.

For Example: I run the batch file like this (on start>run) c:\mybatch.bat cl1 cl2 cl3
now i want to be able to take this input i.e. cl1 cl2 cl3 and pass it to a exe like:

c:\myexe.exe cl1 cl2 cl3

to do this i will have to push this command line into a variable.. how will i do that?

Thanks
