So with my batch file, you are able to drag two files into it. But, I manually have to decide which file is which
( echo If you asm is first, type 1. If it is second, type 2.
echo.
echo %1
echo %2
echo.
echo ------------------
set choice=
set /p choice=
if not '%choice%'=='' set choice=%choice:~0,1%
if '%choice%'=='1' goto one
if '%choice%'=='2' goto two
echo "%choice%" is not valid please try again )

I was wondering if there was a way to compare extensions and execute accordingly.
example:
( if [%1]==[*.asm] go to one
)

please note that the above example does not work
The extension part of a file name, if present, including the dot, is extracted USING the ~xV variable modifier thus... (V=variable, in this case it is %~x1)

if [%~x1]==[.asm] go to one

If %1 = S:\test\batch\extest\tryme.bat, then...

~d1 drive letter and colon S:
~p1 path and folder \test\batch\extest\
~n1 name part of filename tryme
~x1 extension .bat

You can join them:

e.g. ~dpnx1 is S:\test\batch\extest\tryme.bat

These MODIFIERS also apply to FOR loop variables e.g. %%~nA

type FOR /? at prompt for FULL help

Im a bit baffled. I think.. So from my understanding, i use one of those variables with a numeral?

so to see if %1 is an asm file, I'd do this:
( if [%~x1]==[.asm] goto one
)
and to see if %2 is a smc file, I'd do this?:
( if [%~X2]==[.smc] goto two
)That is correct, but what are the red parentheses for?
to show code >.
Code: [Select]if [%~x1]==[.asm] goto one
