Subject  :  Possible to Assign Batch Parameters from WSH?
Size(KB) :  1



Drag & Drop is a really neat feature of WSH, allowing argument 
passing directly from Windows. But there appears to be no Renaming 
method in WSH? I was doinking around trying to see if I could pass 
the WSH arguments to batch paramenters...

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Q = Chr(34) : CR = Chr(13)
For Each Source in WScript.Arguments
Input = InputBox("Enter new name ?")
Source = Q+Source+Q
Input = Q+Input+Q
WScript.Echo Source & CR & "Rename to " & Input
WshShell.Run "%windir%\System32\Cmd.exe /K CD C:\ & Rename %
Source% %Input%",1,true
Next

This kind of thing doesn't work because CMD can't resolve the WHS 
arguments there. CMD sees literaly "%Source%" & "%Input%", not 
they're values. But I "feel" there must be a way to pass the 
arguments?

I have a little script that copies whatever is selected & droped on 
it to my backups. Actually through a shortcut to it added to the 
Send To menu. Limited only by the argument list length and very 
useful. I was thinking about others to automatically rename & delete 
the multiple copies. The delete method exists and would be no 
trouble, but I can't find any rename? There's probably a work a 
round but it hasn't poped out yet!
