Batch file Copy using %1 for drag and drop

Question

I tried to make a drag-and-drop batch file.

I have the problem that a file exists but the batch file couldn't find it...

I want to copy .png files (like pict_2013020808172137243.png) to another folder and rename it.

In the path are symbols like _ and spaces, also I don't know how to make multi-drag-and-drop to make the same function (rename and add to .zip).

I tried this but with no result :(

@ECHO OFF ECHO %1 COPY "%1" "%CD%\test\" /Y /S  REN "%CD%\mob\*.png" "%CD%\test\test.png" 7za u -tzip "%appdata%\.virto\pack.zip" "test" -r 

Answer 1

Drag & drop is badly implemented for batch files.
The names are quoted, if a space is present, but not if a special character is found, like &,;^

For spaces only in your filenames, you need to change your code only a bit.

@ECHO OFF ECHO "%~1" COPY "%~1" "%CD%\test\" /Y /S  MOVE "%CD%\mob\*.png" "%CD%\test\test.png" 7za u -tzip "%appdata%\.virto\pack.zip" "test" -r 

%~1 expands always to an unquoted version, so can always quote them in a safe way.

"c:\Docs and sets" -> %~1 -> c:\Docs and sets -> "%~1" -> "c:\Docs and sets" c:\Programs -> %~1 -> c:\Programs -> "%~1" -> "c:\Programs"
