I am doing a batch scripting assignment where I have to call one script from inside another. I need the script to run the second script no matter where my lecturer saves these scripts. How would I do this. Is there some way to find the path of script inside the script and use that to execute the file. Any help would be great. I think I need to use %’s but i’m not sure.
The name of the script is Hello World.bat.
How would I copy Hello World.bat to the C:\ if I don’t know which directory the lecturer has placed it in. what command/s would I use so that the copy would work regardless of the scripts location.
If the script you are executing is calling other scripts in the SAME folder location, you can prefix the path statement with “%~dp0” or “%~dps0” but do not put a backslash between that and the name of the script you are calling. In other words, if script1.bat is calling script2.bat in the same folder, the statement in script1.bat would refer to “%~dp0script2.bat”
