How can I pass arguments to a batch file?

Question

I need to pass an ID and a password to a batch file at the time of running rather than hardcoding them into the file.

Here\'s what the command line looks like:

Answer 1

In batch file

set argument1=%1
set argument2=%2
echo %argument1%
echo %argument2%

%1 and %2 return the first and second argument values respectively.

And in command line, pass the argument

Directory> batchFileName admin P@55w0rd 

Output will be

admin
P@55w0rd
