I am trying to create a Command Prompt Batch file that allows you to get a directory listing for typing in the drive letter after the batch file name at the prompt. E.g. choose.bat a: would give you the directory of A:\. I would like it to do this for 3 Directories(C:\, C:\Windows, A:\) So far I have it only doing C:\.
This is what I have so far any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
@echo off if not c==1%c goto PRINT echo You must enter a parameter after the batch file name Echo. Echo. Echo Directory of C:\, Directory of C:\Windows, Directory of A:\ goto End :Print dir C: /p Echo You are in my Directory [C:\] :End
