Calling a bat file with a parameter

[Docfxit]

I'm trying to call a bat file with a parameter.
The bat file does get called. The parameter doesn't.

Code: Select all

 Set "RunFile=IPAddressSet.bat 1"
REG ADD "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce" /V "Set IP Address" /t REG_SZ /F /D "%~dp0%RunFile%"

This is the bat file I am calling:

Code: Select all

@ECHO off
    call :getAdminrights

::set DNS1=8.8.8.8
::set DNS2=8.8.4.4
set DNS1=66.51.205.100
set DNS2=66.51.206.100

cls
:start
ECHO.
ECHO 1. Change Local Area Connection Static IP 192.168.168.9
ECHO 2. Change Wireless Network Connection Static IP 192.168.168.7
ECHO 3. Show Network Name 
ECHO 4. Obtain an IP address automatically
ECHO 5. Exit

That batch file doesn't appear to be making use of using any command line parameters. If I'm reading this right, you seem to be expecting the command line parameter to get piped into the set /p, but that's not how it works.

Ok. So it's not working. I would like to get it working.
Yes I would like to automatically choose option one.
Do you know how to get it to accept option one on the next re-boot?

Thanks,

Your adminscript gets not the variable params but 'params '.
But neither 'params ' nor 'params' are so usable within a command line.
