hello friends;
i am preparing winrar sfx file as portable application through batch file.
and i enter the options of the sfx file by comment.txt
but when i enter "TempMode" into the comment.txt by batch file,
somehow it doesn't extract the files into the temp file. Instead it extracts
the files into the current folder. I don't understand why.
below is my batch.cmd and comment.txt content;
how can i make the sfx file to extract the content into the temp folder ?

=========batch file=========
echo TempMode >> .\comment.txt
============================

=====comment.txt===========
;Created By Alberto
setup=FSCapture.exe
TempMode
Silent=2
Overwrite=1
===========================


As an alternative to this problem i decided to use "path=%temp%" instead of "TempMode".
but this time batch file converts "path=%temp%" to "path=C:\Users\alberto\AppData\Local\Temp"
in the comment.txt

=========batch file=========
echo path=%temp% >> .\comment.txt
============================

=======comment.txt=========
;Created By Alberto
setup=FSCapture.exe
path=C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Local\Temp
Silent=2
Overwrite=1
===========================
how can i make the batch file to write "path=%temp%" in to the comment.txt ?

That is to say, how can i solve TempMode issue at sfx file or path=%temp% issue at batch file ?
please help me about them.
best regards....

Open a command prompt.
Try issuing in it:

@echo %temp%

@echo ^%temp^%

The usual method of escaping percent characters in batch files is by doubling them up!

>OUTFILE.EXT ECHO=%%TEMP%%

Yes
It is different between command line and batch, my bad .

What OS are you running this on?

What version of WinRar? (see Version History / OS supported)

dear Jaclaz; thank you very much for your help
dear Yzöwl; i did as you say and it worked out. thanks a lot.
and dear submix8c; i use both win xp and win 7. i also use the latest version of winrar. however there is no such a thing in the help file.
so i think best way is set the path=%temp%.

once again, thank you very much friends.
