如何将参数作为字符串从批处理文件传递到另一个文件

Question

So the title may not be very explicit about what I'm looking for, but basically I have this code:

echo python %2 "%1" >> activate_wrapper.bat

This code is inside a .bat file and it's purpose is to build another .bat file that will run a python script. Thing is I don't want to write the value of %1 to activate_wrapper.bat, I want to write the string "%1".

Expected line in activate_wrapper.bat:

python secondArg %1

What am I getting:

python secondArg "firstArg"

Thanks in advance guys.

SOLUTION:

echo python %2 %%1 >> activate_wrapper.bat

The computer cannot read your mind, it doesn't know you only want to expand one of the parameters!

You must escape the % to prevent expansion:

echo hello %2 "%%1" >> temp.txt
set something=whatever
echo hello %%something%% >> temp.txt
