Calling a batch file using relative path

Question

I have a registration form on my website and I want certain fields to be pre-filled when a user returns. for example first name, last name, job function etc but other fields to be left blank that are unique to the particular registration process.

what options do I have to do this for example user log in, "remember me"....etc ?

Also what are the pros and cons of these possible options(breifley)

any help would be great

Solution

There are different ways to do this.

If dirs are:

c:\workdir\batfile-dir\

and you are currently in \workdir\

You can do this: .\batfile-dir\foo.bat

The thing to remember is that foo.bat will be running with a "current directory" of \workdir\

Pre-filling a registration form with data from a former visitor, does imply that visitor didn't finish the registration process on his last visit?

Oh my goodness. I used slashes instead of backslashes. Another reason to hate on Windows, possibly...? Thanks for your help, anyways. It's appreciated.
