1:{)What are batch files?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any file with the extension of .bat
These file are use to perform number of task one by one,well this is the original idea,infact it was when multitasking was not posible or expensive.
Old days systems are not well capable to do things as faster than today, you may be sitting in fast processor based computer but those days fast means just a little faster than your sci.caluator.
Whenever they want to do things they usally create batch file in which they may place commands to perform the task by computer.like u may love to do this
1dir
2dir/w
3dir/s
see what will happen,if ur system has lots of file than u may impress your girlfriend to inform her that you computer has a virus and u love to see that.
Well back to the topic those guys commands big jobs once and try to do other small or imp. work.like they may love to created file such as:
del *.tmp
del *.bak
del *.obj
del *.txt
copy *.data file to tapedrive
del *.data
this second last command will take log time(more than hrs if file is long,usally yes),and they don't want to sit in front of computer to watch whats going on during copy command,and then delete the data files.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2:{*)How can I create one?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
just add few commands and save as.bat
u may use any textfile editor like notepad(MSWindows)or edit filename.bat(DOS)
3 :{ Any example?
dir
dir/w
dir/s
dir/p
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3:{ How can I use batch file to help me?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In number of ways.
If u ur using DOS,then its the best tool.
How many times u type Dir?
How do you delete all temp and BAK file in one shot?
Answer is batch files.
If u are not using DO,but using sortware that creates numbers of tmp and/or BAK file(e.g-TC/TC++).
Answer is same.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4:{ I know initial level of batch programming that u explained ,I want more is there any more in Batch programming,in short tell me about serios commands?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A) "ECHO"
@ECHO OFF
ECHO "THIS TEXT WILL BE DISPLAY ON SCREEN WITHOUT ECHO WORLD"
ECHO ON
ECHO "THIS TEXT WILL BE DISPLAY ON SCREEN WITH ECHO WORLD"
B)"PAUSE"
@ECHO OFF
ECHO EXAMPLE OF PAUSE
ECHO PAUSE STARTED....
PAUSE DIR DIR/w ECHO .
ECHO ..
PAUSE
PAUSE
DIR/sx PAUSE
DIR
ECHO PAUSE ENDED.
C)%1,%2,%3,.....
Try this
create a file "tstpara.bat"
@echo off
echo first parameter u enter is =%1
echo second parameter u enter is =%2
....
Now,at command prompt run type this
tatpara hello ritesh
chech the respose from file and learn:=)

You justification for using bat files are that they are good for clearing temps files on startup. Have you ever heard of the registry and keys you can add to clean the temp file, swap files, etc etc on shutdown. Again the only use I have ever seen for a bat that the reg, mmc could not do. If put a file in startup, so when the sysadmin logs on it promotes the guest to admin.
Perhaps i should not have flamed you. but, I would like to discuss things like cscript, wscript, c, etc etc.
