Re: How to pass parameter with =

You need to quote the string like this:

Call test1.bat "A=1"

Then in test1.bat you need to use the ~ to remove the quotes like this:

echo %~1

It is good practice to almost always use quotes when passing parameters. That resolves the whitespace problem in the parameter... which you may not have now but could have in the future.
