Hi

I created the DOS based batch file as below:

set STR_PATH=%1
........
........

I am passing the argument as C:\TestDir\Test

So here in a period of time I need the STR_PATH value to be replaced as C:/TestDir/Test.
Is there any way to replace '\' with '/' in DOS.

So present value is : STR_PATH=C:\TestDir\Test
Required value is : STR_PATH=C:/TestDir/Test

Please help me out in this issue asap.

In DOS

set STR_PATH=C:/TestDir/Test


=====================================
If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.
