Can I use Exec[.....] to send a parameter to batch file?

I want to run a batchfile which requires a parameter being passed to it. I tried doing Exec[C:\batch.bat C:\file.tp] but that did not seem to work. (The "C:\file.tp" is the parameter) I tried adding quotes and whatnot, but that didn't work either.

Is this possible?

Thanks!

As far as I know it is not possible to pass a parameter to a batch (or executable) file in the Exec command.

Maybe you can use multiple batch files as a workaround - one for each command/parameter pair that you need - where each batch file has the parameter file name "hard coded" in it.

Ok, thanks.
