Run batch file located in sub directory with another batch file

Question

So I know you think I should do something like: start C:\parentfolder\subfolder\batchfile.bat

or something along those but I was wonder if there was like a way to reference the sub directory without using it's actual name? Since the batch files will be generated by another batch file.

Don't ask why I need it to be generated I'd much rather it not but couldn't find any other way.

@Compo Thanks for your answer but it still did not solve my problem. I need my batch file to go into a folder below and run the batch file start.bat. — ineedhelp374, Sep 25 '21 at 18:12

You have to cd into a subdirectory and then run start start.bat. That should run another batch file. To go into a relative subdirectory, run the command cd foldername. You have to make sure you are currently in the parent directory.
