Yeah I know and the manual says :
"
The command-line arguments AKA command-line parameters passed to a batch script are accessible as %1, %2, ..., %9.
"
as well as "%~1" search the doc ...

When dragging a file on the the bat file , the %~1 with be replaced with the path to the file as mentioned in my first post. But that wasnt the question. It works , try it.

So "%~1" becomes  "C:\Users\hom\Downloads\Desktop\New folder (3)\threebursts.wav"

The question is now wht is this command not working:

sox "C:\Users\hom\Downloads\Desktop\New folder (3)\threebursts.wav" temp_outfile.wav silence 1 0.1 1 : newfile : restart
