-o oddities in windows batch files

[enterprised1]

i'm using a batch file in windows to change the filename to just the title and extension - basically remove the %(id)s.

here's what i have in the batch file:
set /p address=Enter video site address:
youtubedl\youtube-dl.exe -v -o '%(title)s.%(ext)s' %address%

When attempting to run, i get the error:
"youtube-dl.exe: error: You must provide at least one URL."

When running the batch file without the -o option, it runs fine (but appends the %(id)s, which is what i'm trying to avoid).

running the same command directly in the command prompt works fine. any ideas why it's not working when run from a batch file?

thanks!

You may need to escape the % from the -o option in the batch file, could you post the output of the batch file (with the -v option)?

Correct code:

set /p address=Enter video site address:
youtubedl\youtube-dl.exe -v -o "%%(title)s.%%(ext)s" %address%
