How to call a batch file that is one level up from the current batch file directory?

Question

I'm using a batch file in folder1\folder2\file.bat.

There is a batch file in parent folder folder1 that I want to open through file.bat.

I have tried using:

start ..\..\code.bat

But this results in an error message because the file couldn't be found.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

You could just:

cd..
start Code.bat

And that would start code.bat from its own directory
