Any good .bat programming tuts out there? I searched throught the AO forums and really couldn't find anything.
hey thanks again

The Tutorials Index... There are at least 3 batch-tutorials in there ;)
This has been asked dozens of times before and I'll explain agian. Makeing batch files is command scripting not programing mainly because there is no compiling needed. This place might help... www.computerhope.com/msdos.htm and for the *nix www.bsd.org/dos2unix.html
Just put your commands into filename.bat open the file and watch DOS obey the commands.
The_Specialist, I must say that I don't completely agree. Just because there is no compiling needed, it doesn't necessarily follow that it's not programming. For example, BASIC, perl etc are all interpreted languages and are never compiled. That doesn't mean that writing code in them is scripting does it. I do get what you're getting at, because a batch file is just a bunch of commands executed sequentially, but some rudimentary control structures do exist. And IMHO, just because it's a script doesn't mean that it isn't programming. This is a bit off-topic but oh well...
Cheers,

"Batch File Programming"
Level:Starter
AUTOR: RITESH GAUR
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
1:)dir
2:)dir/w
3:)dir/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:=)
