How do I pass multiple variables from an Excel file to a batch file

Question

I am currently able to pass one argument from my Excel file to my batch file using the following:

 filepath = \"C:\\Users\\agaron\\Desktop\\batchmaster\\batchfi

Windows batch files get different parameters delimited by spaces. So if your batch file batchfiletest.bat is like:

echo off
echo %1
echo %2
echo %3
pause

then the following VBA should run properly:

Sub testBatch()
 sMonth = Format(Now, "mmmm")
 sDay = Format(Now, "dd")
 sYear = Format(Now, "yyyy")
 filepath = "C:\Users\axel\batchfiletest.bat " & sMonth & " " & sDay & " " & sYear
 Shell filepath, vbNormalFocus
End Sub
