One is an update to the other. Problem is that some computers dont use C: some may use D or E. So what I need to do is have my new batch file backup the old batch file, easy...then read what the drive letter is that is used and append itself or build another batch file that uses the existing drive letter with the new commands... Batch file 1 uses D: Batch file 2 needs to see that batch file uses d: either build another batch file with this info plus the new commands OR append itself with the appropriate drive letter...
