How do i get the batch file to support the drag and drop feature? Like, i want to be able to drag a file on to the batch and then it executes something like this:
program.exe droppedfile
also, part of the first question, if a users double clicks on the batch instead of dragging the file over it, is it possible to make it do the "choice" command?


question2: Right now im using this:
FOR /F "tokens=1*" %%G IN ('dir /b *.smc') DO Set smc=%%G
If [%smc%]==[] goto filenotfound

If it finds more than one file, how can i make it so the user can choose which one to use??Drag and drop?

Do you mean that you want to import content data from say a data file and use it within your batch?Example of drag and drop
Code: [Select]echo off
set /p ren=Select new name:
ren %1 %ren%%~x1
echo. Renamed to %ren%%~x1
pause >nulsave it as dnd.bat on a desktop
now you can rename files using drag and dropI mean when I drag a file on to the batch, I want it to be set as %smc% so I can use it like
program.exe %smc%
(where %smc% is the infile) Quote from: kaiyoken on August 07, 2008, 01:31:23 PM

do you mean grab the file with you mouse and drop it onto the batch program. then no you cant do that. Batch files are not capable of detecting mouse clicks or movement.

oh cool! it shows the file
thanks!!

i thought he ment grabbing the file from a folder and drop it on the batch window while it was running.
