Yes I know that,
but thank you for clarifying.
Actually that was what I had in mind saying: "In a batch you can skip the
leading cmd /c ". And you're right, you also don't need the leading cmd /c
when typing it from a DOS-prompt, obviously.
The OP mensioned: "type command interactively >sol.exe"
However, note that the OP did also stated: "but I must use commands as
arguments using /k or /c switches" - So I wonder why that is... !
- The leading "cmd /c" IS needed when executing from Start | Run or using a
vbscript to run it.
- It could also be that the OP needs the supplement box (sample 2) for some
purpose.
Anyway, that is why my two samples look as they do, in addition to the
correctly dos command you posted a few days ago.
Thanks.
