How Do i Make a Batch File?

Hey gang,

I was wondering how to make a batch file to execute certain strings of text into another program. for example:

program = full screen game
strings = cheats to be entered into an 'ingame' command console.

now, with this example in mind, how would i construct a 3rd party file, that can be executed and will affect the full screen game. ie, [execute batch] [opens console] [inputs all cheats wanted] [closes console to continue game]

[edit] No i am not trying to cheat at cheating at a game [/edit]

you dont need to create a batch file - just create a shortcut to the game exe and then right click on it and go to proporties and select the shortcut tab - then in the target bit...well say you wanted to show the console in CS then type

c:\sierra\cs\cs.exe -console

valhallen: i think you totally missed the point of the question.

im just wanting to know how to execute a file, that will insert strings INTO another program?

and how to write that file .. what commands to use and the syntax needed ?

I don't think its actually possible to use a batch file to insert a string of commands into another program.

I might be wrong, but I think thats correct.

What if it isnt a batch file. is there some other way to insert a string of commands into another program?

If the program is already running, and you would ordinarily
just hit certain keys, or click a menu to open a text console
for entering the strings, it seems pretty hard to me.

If the strings can be entered before the game executes, that's different.
Or if there's a separate executable, or command shell that can be executed,
that could be done with a batch file.

It would also be easy to execute the program with certain command line parameters
or to set environment variables before executing it, but injecting commands into
a running program, I've never seen it done.
:cool:

ok, thanks for that... i will still work on it. im just wondering if i can write a 3rd party program. ei, enter a certain combination of keys, which will allow me to execute commands in the 3rd party program while still keeping the target program active.

Anyways, thanks for the info :)
