Unfortunately I don't have the time to test it so I dare to ask:

Assume my cmdlines.txt is as follows:

[COMMANDS]
"batch1.cmd"
"batch2.cmd"

Will propietary variables (i.e. set command) definied in batch1.cmd for the first time still be available when batch2.cmd is run?

thx!

NO

You can SET variables one time in command.cmd and call your batches


cmdlines.txt

[COMMANDS]
"command.cmd"

command.cmd

set var=variable
call batch1.cmd
call batch2.cmd

BTW it was a 10 seconds test so please don't say you didn't have the time to do it

thx.

and sth about time: I asked about _cmdlines.txt_ which is run during windows installation as u certainly know. And I doubt testing this will last only 10 seconds. *hehe* I know how batch files work but didn't know for how long environment in cmdlines.txt in particular is saved. I was unsure about if cmdlines.txt is like a container/master batch file and everything in it is available everywhere in it. So unfortunately u obviously performed a test under normal circumstances for me whose result I already knew and didn't help answer my question. But don't worry ... I've found the desired answer already.
