Hi all,

is it possible to pass arguments into a BAT file? ie:
run.bat myfile.java
-------- run.bat -------------
javac myfile.java
java myfile
--------- end ---------
Thx!! Very Happy

Yes. %1 is the first argument, %2 is the second, and so on. I believe it goes up to %99. However, %0 isn't the number of arguments, like in AutoHotkey, it's the command that invoked the batch file (for instance, if the batch file is called foo.bat, then this would be 'foo' if you just typed foo to invoke it, or it'll be 'foo.bat' if you used its extension when you invoked it.)

Hi Gehn,
I have a short script:
#X::filesettime 2020,D:\foo.xls,,1,0
That gives the file a modified date of 1-1-2020

I understand batch files and the substitution rule. I substituted the fully qualified file name with %1 and tried putting the ahk into the sendto but it doesn't honor it.

I would like to use this ahk syntax to changed the date on other files without having to type the file name into the ahk file each time.

Any advice on how I can achieve that?

Thanks.
