Question

Is it possible to preserve OS variables being used as command line arguments.

For example: Test.exe %Temp%

has the expanded temp variable, not the variable itself.

So:

  Console.WriteLine("Args:\n");
  foreach (string cl in args)
  {
    Console.WriteLine(cl);
  }

Outputs something like:

Args:

C:\Temp

What I need is for the variable to remain unexpanded:

Args:

%Temp%

Answer 1

You need to escape the percentages like this: Test.exe ^%Temp^%. With this you should get the desired output.
