Good morning

I'm making a batch file for windows, but I want it to receive several parameters and output the result to a file.

Is this the right way to write the batch file?

%1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 > results.txt

where %1 is the exe? Doesn't seem to work very well when integrated within othe apps...

Regards

KeplerGenerally speaking, you have the right idea.  You can use %1, %2, etc... as parameters to a batch file and you can output the results to a file using the > direct the output.  There is a lot more to it than just those 2 aspects though, especially when you are interacting with an exe as you MENTIONED.  Often an exe will handle it's own output so invoking an exe from a batch file and attempting to redirect the output to a file will not work.

Can you give more specific examples of what you are trying to do? Quote from: kepler on June 03, 2017, 07:16:02 AM

The idea is this: I want to create a batch file, that can call a executable (by means of a parameter) and its repectives parameters.

So, for instance, I would call;

mybatch.bat myexe.exe param1 param2

would run myexe.exe with the parameters 1 and 2 and send the output to a file (results.txt):

myexe.exe param1 param2 > results.txt
