Re: Batch file

i am aware of the quotes and when to use them. correct me if i wrong, you use
them when there are spaces in the path. "%Userprofile%\Desktop\test.txt"
should work the same as %Userprofile%\Desktop\test.txt and the exit thing is
just something i have always done : ) i was unaware of the exit /b vs. exit.
learn something new everyday. so pegasus when would exit be needed?
