Batch file how to call another batch file at a specified label or call and immediately goto a certain label?

batch-file, call, label

Solution

You could pass the label you want to go to as a parameter

Example scripts

First.bat

@echo off
set label=GOHERE
call Second.bat %label%
pause >nul

Second.bat

@echo off
goto %1
echo This line should be skipped
:GOHERE
echo Jumped here

Problem

I am trying to figure out how file1.bat can call file2.bat at a specified label. I figured I can do it like this: File1.bat ``` :config @echo off :setvars set labelmarker=labelmarker call file2.bat pause > nul :EOF ``` File2.bat ``` if %labelmarker%==labelmarker goto label4 :label1 echo it won't work... goto EOF :label2 echo it must work! goto EOF :label3 echo it didn't work... goto EOF :label4 echo it works! goto EOF :EOF ``` This works. but I want to call a bat AND the Label from file1.bat. is it possible with a control character or ascii code or anything? like i tried ``` call file2.bat | goto label4 - doesn't work call file2.bat > goto label4 - doesn't work call file2.bat @label4 - doesn't work ``` Any help would be greatly appreciated. Even if it involves extracting a specific label and contents to a new file would be ok.
