Issue with a variable in my batch script -

i want script to:

• accept variable
• create path using variable input
• display path
• display contents of directory

what wrong following code? echo statement prints your directory set to; dir statement works expected.

@echo off set custompath = "c:\users\%1" echo  directory set %custompath% dir %custompath% 

it's space around =.

@echo off set custompath="c:\users\%1" echo  directory set %custompath% dir %custompath% 

check this post.
