Pass Dynamic Argument to Batch File

kirtish.trivedi — Tue, 03 Aug 2021 07:36:00 GMT

Hi Community,

I am Running Batch file from Blueprism using Utility: Environment --> Start Process Action
Application : "cmd.exe"
Argument: "/C C:\Users\....\test.bat"

Batch file Content:
ECHO

cd /d T:\FolderABC
dir /s /b /o:gn >list.csv

It is running Perfectly Fine

What I need to do is I want to pass folder name Dynamically from BP Process
I can make the content of file like below

ECHO
cd /d T:\{0}
dir /s /b /o:gn >list.csv

Hence I wanted to know if there is any way to replace {0} with FolderName in batch file from Blueprism

Hi Kirtish,

You create your own BAT file using "Write text file"where you can pass the variable.
Post that you can run it.

create batch script as "cd /d T:%1" you can run the batch script using utility environment start process and pass the folder name in argument

an example batch script and BP action is shown below
