Pinger batch file request

Question

This is the command I need:

ping oldschool"world#".runescape.com

I want to be able to open the batch file, type in world#, and have it fill in and type that command.

e.g.

ping oldschool53.runescape.com

Any help or direction would be much appreciated!

Add a batch file called pw.bat with this content:

ping oldschool%1.runescape.com

I you type "pw 12" it will ping world #12.

If you want it to be reachable from anywhere in you command prompt, put the file in a foler which is added to the PATH variable, you can see them if you type PATH in your command prompt.

not quite correct. Check again, how a parameter is referenced (`call /?`) – Stephan Dec 09 '18 at 13:42

...it should be `%1` not `%1%`. – Compo Dec 09 '18 at 14:55
Thanks guys! I was lost but figured out you have to put the pw.bat in the cmd.exe file location, then type "pw world#" in cmd (for any other noobs out there). – moosepp Dec 09 '18 at 15:25

Why not using `set /p`? – double-beep Dec 09 '18 at 15:51

@moosepp - You can call batch scripts from anywhere on your computer; it doesn't have to be in the same directory as `cmd.exe`. – SomethingDark Dec 09 '18 at 21:46
