Merging two % data fields into a single one?

#1 Post by Jobe77x » 05 Mar 2017 01:47

Hi!

I've got a problem with merging two % data fields.

For example:

md f:\testscript\%label_%
xcopy d:\*.* /s /e f:\testscript\%label_%



%label_% is the name of the current DVD in the player.
However, I'm trying to add the %Random% parameter like:

md f:\testscript\%label_%+%random%
xcopy d:\*.* /s /e f:\testscript\%label_% + %random%


So the result would be that it creates for example a dir called alien28361...

I've tried a few solutions with , " ' but I can't for my life remember how to do it

Anybody that knows how?
