So I created a batch file that echoes a random number in a new text file. The .EXE file however doesn't work. Can you help?

Could you provide me the batch file you're using? Just want to have a look at the code so I can replicate the issue

Thank you for your response, I cannot send you the EXACT file because it reveals some personal info. I will send you a .TXT file that has the same thing but with different variables and "echoes."

Ok so I have tested this. It's one of the limitations with IEXPRESS, How IEXPRESS works, is that it copies the bat script into a folder located in %TEMP%\IXP000.TMP\ and then executes it within that directory. Once the script is completed, the folder is then deleted by itself.

See HERE and HERE for a thorough explanation.

What you can do to resolve it is use the copy /y command at the end of your script to copy the txt file into a permanent location. So for example, you could do the following:

@echo off
cls
echo What is your favorite color
set /p "color="
echo %color% >"color.txt"
copy /y "color.txt" "%userprofile%\desktop\color.txt"
cls
exit

Hope that helps
