I have a small batch file that executes a few simple lines of code.

It works perfectly fine when I put it in the Folder and execute it.

However the file should be located on level above it and be able to get executed by having the folder being droped on to it.

When I currently drop the folder on to it, it just executes the code as if I would just double click it. However it should behave as if the file was located inside the folder.

@echo off



for %%a in (*.*) do @echo %%~na >> filenames.txt

)



pause

How would I do that?

I don't want to apply it to every folder just the one chosen by dropping it onto the file.

I want to generate a file from all the filenames inside the Folder.

which will then be compared to an other file created from an other folder.

@echo off

echo new additions > test3.txt

findstr /vixg:shots.txt shots2.txt >> test3.txt

echo removed >> test3.txt

findstr /vixg:shots2.txt shots.txt >> test3.txt

I assume I can|t automate the comparison, by dropping two folders onto the file, can I?

I am not 100% sure what you want, but I am assuming you want to match shots.txt which is in folder1 with shots2.txt in folder2. Something like this should work if that is the case:

@echo off

echo new additions > test3.txt

if exist "%1shots.txt" (findstr /vixg:"%1shots.txt" "%2shots2.txt" >> test3.txt)

if exist "%2shots.txt" (findstr /vixg:"%2shots.txt" "%1shots2.txt" >> test3.txt)

echo removed >> test3.txt

if exist "%1shots2.txt" (findstr /vixg:"%1shots2.txt" "%2shots.txt" >> test3.txt)

if exist "%2shots.txt" (findstr /vixg:"%2shots2.txt" "%1shots.txt" >> test3.txt)

You can then select 2 folders containing the files and drop them both onto the batch file.
