Path in batch file

[Helge Haensel]

Hallo NG!
WindowsXP/HE/S3
I have a batch.bat that needs a sometimes changing path to the target
files.
I.e.:

@echo off
C:\Programme\7-zip\7za a -tzip "longpathname\"<outfile.kmz>
"longpathname\"<inpfile.kml>

Is it possible to pass 'longpathname' as a parameter to batch.bat?
Thanks!

Sure is:
@echo off
echo parms=%*
"C:\Programme\7-zip\7za.exe" a -tzip "%*\outfile.kmz" "%*\inpfile.kml"

And here is how to invoke the batch file:
MyBatchfile.bat parm1 parm2 parm3 . . .

I recommend that you put your double quotes around the whole entity of
path+filename, not just part of it.

Thanks, that looks good. Does the syntax also handle 'longpathname'
containing spaces correctly?

Why don't you give it a try?
