Did you read the remarks in the script that explain the actions? If so, what are you not understanding. The script is an example showing how to handle the logic involved in saving initialization values to a file for retrieval in subsequent executions. The save only happens if the required conditions are true, which are: they have not been saved previously, and the script has been provided enough arguments to store the expected number of variables.

Thats all you get, if you cant take the time to integegrate it or ask specific questions, so be it. Every step is already explained in the remarks. If your still uncertain about a specific section or element, ask. Im not going to guess at what you do and dont understand or make assumptions about how much or little you know.

Sounds very much like "write a script to solve my specific problem so I can just use it". If there's something specific your not understanding in the remarked example script, it's an easy thing to ask. What this script demonstrates is a solution to storing passed variables when first run so they are avialable for future use. The logic to store the variables only activates if the storage file does not exist, and only loads them if they have already been stored. A number of error checks are demonstrated that are advisable to use given you have stated 1st.bat will be deleted after the first run.

The script contains explanations. If theres something your not understanding, it's for you to ask about said something. Do you need to have the basics of an If / Else statement explained? Do you know what && or || conditional oiperators do, or that %1 etc are arguments? Do use know that ">" writes to a file, and "<" reads from it? There is no way for me to know what you do and don't understand in the script, What if any level of understanding you have of batch scripting, hence why I very reasonably ask you to be specific - so I don't waste my time over-explaining basic batch ...

commands that can be learned about by reading help output or doing even the slightest bit of research
