Ok, so I need to make a batch file that calls a batch from the C:\, then goes back to the file where the batch started, and calls and/or starts another batch. I have tried a couple of codes: (a.bat is in the C:\, b.bat is in the same file as the batch being run)Code: [SELECT]set 1=%CD%
pause>nul
cd\
call a.bat
cd "1"
call b.bat
pause>nulCode: [Select]@echo off
set 1="%~dp0"
cd\
call a.bat
cd "1"
call b.bat
pause>nulCode: [Select]set choice="%CD%"
set /p choice="%CD%">nul
if '%choice%'=='%CD%' goto :1
:1
cd\
call a.bat
cd "%choice%"
call b.bat
pause>nul but none of the above seem to work. So I guess what I'm asking is, Is this possible? and if so, what would the correct code be?
Thanks!You're making this much harder then it has to be. Your first example was the easiest to fix.

Code: [Select]set 1=%CD%
pause>nul
cd\
call a.bat
cd %1%
call b.bat
pause>nul

The KISS METHOD would be:

Code: [Select]call \a.bat
call b.bat

I don't recommend using numerics as the target of a set command. They are too easily CONFUSED with command line arguments. Batch code is cryptic enough.

Someday, someone will have to explain pause>nul to me.

Sidewinder, happy to oblige

Pause does 2 THINGS, waits for a keypress and DISPLAYS
Press any key to continue ....

Redirecting the output of Pause means it will still wait for a keypress, but the message will not appear, it is usually accompanied by a customised message using Echo

......
Echo Processing complete, press a key to exit
Pause>Nul
