Hi Eduardo, Create a file temp.dat and type the following and see the results. You can use the same implementation according to your requirement. Type the following in the batch file. echo How r you, %1 Run this file from C prompt or where ever you stored the batch file as follows c:\>temp Eduardo The result will be How r you Eduardo Here %1 is replaced by Eduardo. Similarly you can give more than one parameter to the batch file by typing C:\>temp ...... Hope this solves your problem Sajid Mohammed sajleo@yahoo.com
