I have many bat files that share a common setup of variables. Instead of defining the same variables over and over again (and making errors in the process) I would like to include one bat file in all the others.

How do I do this? Excuse my newbie question but the last time I touched bat, it was a file called autoexec.bat, long ago...

Thanks!

You can call another bat file with "call FILENAME". Don't really know if that is sufficient for you.

Do variables exist to the new batch file? I think you'll need to pass them to the environment with the SET Command. – BillN Aug 26 '09 at 14:45
