fillalph Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 I got a question about some simple batch commands (I know I could use a full path names, but this looked cool@ECHO OFFsetlocal set PATHTOFIXES= \CMDINFO /ht:Q252795IF ERRORLEVEL 0 GOTO aIF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO 1:a252795_w2k_sp3_x86_en.exe -z -m -q -nGOTO 1:1CMDINFO /ht:Q276471IF ERRORLEVEL 0 GOTO bIF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO 2and it just continues like that, but what does setlocal do? and set pathtofixes (is that defining something)? How does the computer know what pathtofixes is ? I am taking that the .bat is one directory higher than the actual fixes (because of the \)?]Bonkers[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fillalph Posted July 30, 2003 Author Share Posted July 30, 2003 Thanks for the reply JohnMK. I still don't get it, but no worries (I am too noobish). Hehe, about the comment before, forgive me. This was the third forum I was answering questions in (3am now) and I got carried away (some guy couldn't figure out that to play a DVD in his comp he needed to have a DVD player software installed (windows media player alone didn't work for him (DAH), I almost cried... what an id***). So, my apologies. (By the way, did the link for you work on your problem?)That link you gave me was much better than the sites I was getting from google.ca.
