undocumented batch vars
Thomas Steinbach
totday I found a website wich explains the
"internal" environment vars
%~d0 current drive
%~p0 current path
%~dp0 current drive and path of executed batch
%~n0 current batch name without extension
I never heard of this vars before and now I'm
searching an offiical MS documentation of this vars.
Are this vars undocumented?
Does anybody knows an official and an unofficial
documentation of this vars if there are more vars
like this vars?

it is documented, albeit difficult to find ;-)

Yes, %* i.e.
Since the windows help is language dependent here is the german title:
Verwenden von Batchparametern
A way to find this information langugae independent is to use hh.exe in
a aconsole window:
HH ntcmds.chm::/percent.htm
Übersicht über die Eingabeaufforderung
HH ntcmds.chm::/ntcmds_shelloverview.htm
Befehlszeilenreferenz A-Z
HH ntcmds.chm::/ntcmds.htm
Verwenden von Batchdateien
HH ntcmds.chm::/batch.htm
Call
HH ntcmds.chm::/call.htm
Otherwise follow the links in all these references.
BTW Since this is valid for windows versions of the nt range
(NT/W2K/XP/Vista) alt.msdos.batch.nt is the better group to post to.
