If you can guarantee that your multiple arguments will always represent
one string, then %* will pick them all up within the batch file.
If you want more than one argument with spaces in them, you are going to
have to descend into the depths of the DOS FOR loop.
Good Luck

Subject: Re: C# console application executing command line commands?
Ok, FWIW, seems simplest trick is to use the System.Diagnostics.Process
to in fact execute a batch file:
System.Diagnostics.Process proc = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
proc.EnableRaisingEvents = false;
proc.StartInfo.FileName = stAppPath + "playlist.bat";
proc.StartInfo.Arguments = fils[I].Substring(2, (fils[I].Length - 2));
proc.Start();
proc.WaitForExit();
fils[] string array is something am populating using
System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(), and stAppPath is assigned a value from
System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() fwiw;
Only real issue now is that if the argument strings have spaces in them,
they get seen as multiple arguments, so unless can confirm if can do a
form of search/replace within batch file, I'll do something like specify
up to around 5-10 of them in case:
echo %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 %10 > zFile.txt
And that should work around the spacing issue, but let's see...might just
go over to actual windows app, and stream playlist file contents myself
from within code, but anyway...
Other thing remembered is that within the actual batch file/command line
instance while > will redirect to a newly created/replaced file, >> will
in fact append to an existing file.
You can also easily enough use System.Console.WriteLine to output status
messages, but jaws, for example doesn't read them to me automatically.
Stay well
