I have always checked a command line on the CMD black screen prior to inserting it into a .bak file, and it has always worked.

Well, I ran into a problem with the script to open a text file, say

"C:\users\myfile.txt"

This works when used on the black screen, but not when placed into a .bak file, which is then executed. The file does not open.

Any thoughts on what the problem is? Thanks for all suggestions.


Ivan:

If the filename has spaces or odd characters in it it should be enclosed in
quotation marks. Other than that I can't think of anything. IIRC there used to
be a Usenet group devoted to batch files. You might get better answers there.
