Batch file with command line input

thanks for the reply

i know how to the variables will work

but i am not sure how to pass the command line to a variable ??

i meant:

I know how the variables will be output..I am just unsure how to get the command line to be assigned to a variable.

You shouldn't need to put all of them into one variable to pass them to myexe.exe.

What I gave you didn't work?

It doesnt matter how many variables I put them in..

I dont know how to put it it into any variable:

how about i phrase it like this:

i want to run this batch: c:\mybatch.bat cl

now my question is how will i put this cl into a variable??

Ok...you are asking how to get the cl value inside the exe then?  Based on your previous questions, I assume you are working with VB:

Option Explicit

Private firstValue As String
Private secondValue As String
Private thirdValue As String

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim parameter As Variant

    parameter = Split(Command())
    firstValue = parameter(0)
    secondValue = parameter(1)
    thirdValue = parameter(2)
    ' etc....
End Sub

Please read the question carefully..
i was taking about a batch file.. i can make a visual basic app..

I want to do this with a batch file (like the subject and question of this post clearly mention)

Oh. ok..
i knew that variables were needed..and i knew how to output variables..but i didn't know that the variables are essentially the same as the command line inputs..

But it still doesnt work..heres why

My batch looks like the following:

"\\NetworkLocation\Folder\My.exe %1"

and so it should essentially open "my.exe" and and pass the same command line.. right?

but it gives me this error: "The system cannot find the path specified."

I know that the path exists and i have tried running this batch to open the same file when it is not on the network path with a command line (and it runs). like this:

"c:\my.exe %1"

So I thought that the problem is with a batch file opening a network location.. so i put a different exe in the network location and opened it like this (with no command line):

"\\NetworkLocation\Folder\Different.exe"

But this seems to work as well..

So the only thing that i can deduce is the fact that opening a file in a network location with a command line is causing a problem??

sorry about the misunderstanding

Ok i figured it out

the network location does not matter

batch should just be written like this:

\\network\or\anyother\location\my.exe "%1"

thanks for the help

how about running this in .NET:

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
       System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("\\openvs\share\batch2.bat", "c:\xpto xpto.opensw.com.br")
End Sub

do i have to get any permissions for the asp.net process in the network location?

In my opinion if in ur batch file you just wrote something like:

C:\my.exe %*

in your batch file my.bat

then whatever you passed to my.bat will get passed to my.exe.

So, now if u wrote:
my.bat a1 a2 a3

then: it will pass a1 a2 a3 directly to my.exe.

I hope this is what u were lookin for.
