Thanks for the reply T3RRY, it is very much appreciated.

Stay well and be SAFE.

wmic output takes a little more work, refer to the remarks for more. Well, thanks to your code and explanations I was able to achieve what I needed, thank you.

Note using a for /f loop to iterate over the choice command will return letters in upper case, even if the choice options are declared using lower case. You can also obtain the available drives using wmic to define (and dis...

Hello OJBakker , Your "Report.bat" is located in PBU\bin So your code expands to PBU\bin\Reports\Reports.txt The code below will set the Output_File to PBU\Reports\Reports.txt cd /d "%~dp0" set "Output_File=..\Reports\Report.txt" You code also works as expected! Thank you, it is appreciated.
