This is from vague memory.. any parameters passed to a batch file will be in the variables %1 thru %9 Example: ---------------- @echo off echo. echo ** SCAN.exe Batch File ** @echo on scan.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 ---------------- Say the above file is called SCANALL.BAT and you call it using: C:\>SCANALL /SUB /NOMEM The parameter /SUB will be held in "%1" and /NOMEM is in "%2". It doesn't matter if there's nothing to go in "%3" to "%5" as they will just be null.
