Hi, I want to know (if it's possible) how to create *.bat file which can have parametres. I mean when I will use in Windows's cmd:

mybatfile.bat -action1

it will for example create new folder or when I use:

mybatfile.bat -action2

it will delete folder, but when I use:

mybatfile.bat

it'll just show some text with command echo

?? Anybody help ??

If I recall correctly, %0 is the bat's path, %1 is the first parameter, %2 the second, and so on...

Batch file:

ECHO %1

Calling it:

echoit.bat HelloWorld

echoit.bat txt

thanks

*edit*

One more question: will it work when I convert *.bat file to *.exe file with .bat to .exe converter?
