what do you guys think this line in a batch file would do

java -jar file.jar d %variable% dis_%variable%

[foxidrive]

It launches file.jar and possibly passes some parameters

im trying to cross engineer this to work with linux, could you help me put with the everything after the jave -jar file.jar, i neeed to know as much about it as posssible so i can match it with a linux command

Linux uses different variables formats, beside the batch files doesn't work on Linux.
unless it's a programming language that work on both windows & Linux , i think cross platform software/script is impossible.

I am sure you can but this is for the most part a windows batch file forum. If you need help with bash scripting you will need to find another website to get help from.

The point is that a Windows Java.exe will not run in Linux, will it? Maybe if you have Wine installled...


From a batch perspective
This code:

Code: Select all

set variable=abc
java -jar file.jar d %variable% dis_%variable%

Will cause the launching of the command line like this:
java -jar file.jar d abc dis_abc
