That would work if i the folder names were always going to be c:\folder1 and c:\folder2!
The folder names will be decided at run time by the lua script so they will have to be held in two variables.
E.g. Argument1 & Argumnet2
So for example Argument1 = c:\folder1
Argument2 = c:\folder2
So calling execute[[ batch Argument1 Argumnet2 ]]
would pass the actual string='Argument1' to the batch file rather that the path held by the varialbe Argument1
So you execute(batch Argument1 Argument2)
work?
Thanks for your time
