Windows batch file not running when double clicked

Tuesday, February 27, 2018

I have two Windows batch file. Both work when called from command prompt. Only one of the two run runs when double clicked. How come?

The following script (named CopyToStation9.bat) runs with a double-click:

@echo off
for /R "C:\Users\XXX\Documents\XXX" %%f in (*.csv) do copy "%%f" "\\192.168.0.10\c\X"

The following script (named CleanUp.bat) doesn't run with a double-click

@echo off
set delFileList=.\test\
for %%A in (%delFileList%) do (
    del /Q %%A
    echo file %%A  deleted
)

Answer

It looks like you are try to use a UNC path, try using pushdand popd.
