Here is my own program folder on my USB driver:
Program\
run.bat
bin\
config.ini
Iris.exe
library.dll
etc.
I would like to use run.bat to start my Iris.exe
I cannot use this: F:/Program/bin/Iris.exe like a shortcut, because sometimes, it not gives me F driver name (E, G)
What do I need to write into the bat file to work like a charm?
I tried that in BAT file:
˝\bin\Iris.exe˝
It is not working :(
Use this in your batch file:
%~dp0\bin\Iris.exe
%~dp0
resolves to the full path of the folder in which the batch script resides.
You can get all the required file properties by using the code below:
FOR %%? IN (file_to_be_queried) DO (
ECHO File Name Only : %%~n?
ECHO File Extension : %%~x?
ECHO Name in 8.3 notation : %%~sn?
ECHO File Attributes : %%~a?
ECHO Located on Drive : %%~d?
ECHO File Size : %%~z?
ECHO Last-Modified Date : %%~t?
ECHO Parent Folder : %%~dp?
ECHO Fully Qualified Path : %%~f?
ECHO FQP in 8.3 notation : %%~sf?
ECHO Location in the PATH : %%~dp$PATH:?
)
I have found that %CD%
gives the path the script was called from and not the path of the script, however, %~dp0
will give the path of the script itself.
You should be able to use the current directory
"%CD%"\bin\Iris.exe
either
bin\Iris.exe
(no leading slash - because that means start right from the root)
or \Program\bin\Iris.exe
(full path)
