Error while executing via batch file

[ajaytvpm]

My .bat file

echo on
youtube-dl.exe -o '%(title)s.%(ext)s' pEKvDvcqV0I
echo on

While executing, this goes like youtube-dl.exe -o '(ext)s' pEKvDvcqV0I. Title part is not coming properly. So output is not coming as I expect.
But when I run the same from command line, it is working fine.

Please help.

Thanking you

Ajay

Thank you for reporting this issue. I'm not sure what you mean by "goes like" or "is not coming properly". What do you expect, and which precise output do you get? Can you add a logfile or a screenshot?

[ajaytvpm]

Thank you for your reply. 

Please create a DOS batch file using windows notepad with the following code  save the file as yt.bat  in C:
Then go to C:\ and run yt.bat and see it is working properly.

echo on
youtube-dl.exe -o '%(title)s.%(ext)s' pEKvDvcqV0I
echo on

regards

Ajay

Thanks, that clears it up. According to http://www.robvanderwoude.com/escapechars.php , you must escape % with %% in batch files, even in quotes. We should however turn off the color codes (←[0;33m) if the terminal doesn't support them, which seems to be the case with cmd on Windows.

Thanks. I tried with %% too.  but failed.

Again, can you elaborate how it failed? Sorry, but without a precise error description, it's virtually impossible for us to fix your problem.

[ajaytvpm]

thank you
