Define a variable and run as command in Batch file

Question

I'm trying to define a line of batch command and run it

I use something like this :

pushd "%WORKSPACE%"
set mycommand = translate.py documentname
%XD%

but it doesn't run at all

Anybody knows how to do it ?

You should not have any spaces between your variable and = since this will create an environment variable called "mycommand " notice the trailing space — Cyclonecode

I think it would be like:

 pushd "%WORKSPACE"
 set mycommand=translate.py "documentname.py"
 %mycommand%

Hopefully it's like that...
