Hi Bull Not sure what you want here, but do you mean to set a environment variable to "dir /s /b".

If I write "dir /b /s" than you must know that you et a list of files Now I want that "Set Param=the list of files" so that I can change the whole list in one time

Hi How big is the list, you'll maybe run out of environment space. Whats wrong by typing "dir/s /b > Filename.txt" and editing that.
