Question

I have a problem calling a batch file from another batch file when trying to run everything by using Process.Start. Basically I call the execution of a batch file from my c# program that looks like this:

call include.bat  

//execute the rest of the batch file here  

The include.bat file sets up paths and can be used by a number of other batch files. When I run the Process.Start sometimes this works and sometimes I get ERROR: cannot find include.bat. First of all any idea why this happens? And ideas on how to fix this from the batch file?

Answer 1

To switch to the directory your batch file is located in, use this:

cd %~dp0

I do this in almost all of my batch scripts. That way relative paths should always work.
