How can I get the file name of the just-build file? I want to pass that to the .bat file.

Pass the output directory to your script in the build event in Flare, e.g.
"post_publish_script.bat" "$(OutputDirectory)"

Then use %1 in your .bat file to grab the name of the file, e.g if it's a PDF:

Code: Select all

for %%F in ("%1\*.pdf") do (
    set "NAME=%%~nF"
)
echo %name%
pause
