Question

I want to write a Windows/DOS batch file for Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7. In a given directory, I will have a single file that matches, “selenium*.jar”. How do I store the full file name in a variable and then invoke it in a command? What I want to do in pseudocode is

var FILE=/* Get name of selenium JAR file */
java -jar $FILE -userExtensions user_extensions.js

How would I write the above in official DOS batch scripting? Thanks, – Dave

This might work:

FOR %f IN (selenium*.jar) DO java -jar %f -userExtensions user_extensions.js

In a batch (.bat) file, you would write FOR %%f IN ....
