Batch Script (.bat)

Allows you to execute a batch (.bat) script in a Windows environment.

Code​

The code of the BAT script to execute. Variables can be used in this script and will be replaced before executing

REM This is a template batch file

REM Replace {file.FullName} and {file.Orig.FullName} with actual values
SET WorkingFile={file.FullName}
SET OriginalFile={file.Orig.FullName}

REM Example commands using the variables
echo Working on file: %WorkingFile%
echo Original file location: %OriginalFile%

REM Add your actual batch commands below
REM Example: Copy the working file to a backup location
REM copy "%WorkingFile%" "C:\Backup\%~nxWorkingFile%"

REM Set the exit code to 0
EXIT /B 0

Set Working File​

You can update the file that will be used by the next flow element in your flow using SetWorkingFile in your batch script.

REM Rename the working file
SET NewFile=%WorkingFile:.mp4=_compressed.mp4%
MOVE "%WorkingFile%" "%NewFile%"

REM Tell the flow to use the new file
CALL :SetWorkingFile "%NewFile%"
  • No need to manually echo "SETWORKINGFILE=...".
  • Only the last call to SetWorkingFile in the script will be applied.
  • This allows you to rename, move, or otherwise modify files while ensuring downstream flow elements use the correct file.
