Watz the use of "!" in a Ms-Dos batch fi

[phanisv]

Hi

I am phani,  While looking at one of the batch file provided by a vendor I observed two things.

reparg modlib.tmp modlib1.tmp !libname! %3\%1

from the above expression, I would like to know what the reparg does and what is the use of !libname!  What actually does they mean.

It would be a great help if any one can help me.

Thanks
Phani

What vendor? What software? Google turned up nothing definitive for 'reparg', so I guess it's a program used for whatever software we're not discussing. The rest are just arguments for the reparg program. %1 and %3 will resolve to values passed along the command line or values passed with a call.

! has no meaning in batch language, except in set (XP, maybe 2K). !libname! might be the target of a global search and replace the user has to setup before running. Then again it could be anything.

Your manual would be the best source of information.

Good luck.
