How to pass command from one bat file to another bat file

[somu_june]

Hi all,
I want to pass the parameter from file1.bat to file2.bat
echo set filename=%~n0 >> file2.bat
But when I do the above echo statement and writes to a file2.bat, the command is executed and giving the file name, but I need set filename=%~n0 in file2.bat and not the command output. Is there a way I can achieve this


Thanks,

Show us what is in file2.bat please.

There is not enough description to properly understand the issue.

file2.bat Contains

set filename=file1

But needs below command in file2.bat

set filename=%~n0


Thanks,

Here you go:

Code: Select all

>file2.bat echo set filename=%%~n0

Also consider this to protect the variable from some poison characters.

Code: Select all

>file2.bat echo set "filename=%%~n0"
