See: "Quoting and > escaping" at: > > https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Windows_Batch_Scripting#How_a_command_line_is_interpreted Yeah I know and the manual says : " The command-line arguments AKA command-line parameters passed to a batch script are accessible as %1, %2, ..., %9. " as well as "%~1" search the doc ... When dragging a file on the the bat file , the %~1 with be replaced with the path to the file as mentioned in my first post. But that wasnt the question. It works , try it. So "%~1" becomes "C:\Users\hom\Downloads\Desktop\New folder (3)\threebursts.wav" The question is now wht is this command not working: sox "C:\Users\hom\Downloads\Desktop\New folder (3)\threebursts.wav" temp_outfile.wav silence 1 0.1 1 : newfile : restart Cheers H > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own > > Sox-users mailing list > Sox-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sox-users
