This is a PC problem. There is really no standard solution to this problem.
The simplest ad-hoc solution is the write a little program to run on the PC
to
read your batch file, scan it for the filename, then update the filename in
the
batch file. If you send me (leif@leif.org) the batch file I'll show you a
solution.
