code OpenFileInSameFolderAsBatFile

[Spoiled_Kitten]

I had been spent ages trying to figure out how to open a file that was in the same folder as the bat file, and could be moved to other ones, i worked that out and i wish to share it with others, so they can have a look, i can receive feedback, and so others wishing to do the same can with ease.

The code is:

::This opens file in same directory
pushd %~dp0
ProgramInSameFolderAsBat.exe
popd
::Made By Blake McCullough

It is also available on my github to download:

I posted this as a post in the forums so others can easily find it, Please mods leave this thread open so i can get feedback and can help others using this.

Also works with

START %0\..\program.exe

 

And I'm pretty sure

START %~dp0\program.exe

works as well.

 

Pushd and popd save the folder you're working in to a stack, they're generally best used to change the working directory and then return to where you were.

Yeah im sure that could work, just that worked for me when i was making the program.
