I need help to know if can i use #definie for commands in batch or anything else like shortcuts
for example i have del "C:Games" so i definie "C:Games" as {output}
so I wrote:
@echo off
#Definie output "C:Games"
Del "{output}"
But it didn't work for me
my problem is, when i create a script, many things are repeating and sometimes i get error
this is a part of the script

as u can see in the pic, the yellow is repeating many times
can u suggest me a shortcut, i mean like i difinie the yellow as {output} and i write the yellow just one time
and then i replace all the yellows with {output}
This is what I've tried later in another exemple
@echo off
From=[C:UsersEasynote-TE69HWDesktopEctended fromtoFrom]
del /f /q from
batch-file file-io

Once you've followed the above advice, please repeat the process for bothdel /?andrd /?, since one deletes files and the other removes directories.

@echo off
set "From=C:UsersEasynote-TE69HWDesktopEctended fromtoFrom"
rd /s /q %from%
The second line sets (defines) a variable named From. (Note: variable names are case insensitive)
the third line uses that variable (%from%) with the RD command (Remvove Directory).
The switch /s works recursive (delete all subdirectories), /q doesn't ask for confirmation.
See the helpfile for any command with the switch /? (e.g. set /? or rd /?).
Also SS64 should be extremely helpful (a complete list of possible commands and their description)
