Hi, I have a backup script file (backup.bat) to run. I opened the file and looked at the command line, and I saw this line at the beginning of the script: if not.%1 ==. goto ok. I think this is to check for the destination path %1 parameter. But where is the parameter from? How do we pass/specify the parameter to "%1" before we run the backup script? Thank you.

rem "This is a Unix forum" rem "Maybe another forum would be more help" del *.* install_unix.exe reboot

this is really cooooooooooooooooool MR.David Perry..... :) that script is really helpful you know...

David does, however, make a good point that if you run this .bat file in Unix/Linux it will not run ;-) If, however, you are running it in DOS then if you type... backup.bat myparameter myotherparameter %1 will be set to myparameter %2 will be set to myotherparameter hth Sean

Sean Miller, Thanks. I will try your advice.
