Hello everyone, Jordan here! Today, I will be showing you how to create a standard .bat file, and use it to your advantage.
First off, open a new notepad file, and type "@echo off"
Secondly, you can type a message, make it look as such:
Next, what you'll do is save this as test.bat, and then go to the destination you saved it to, open it up, and you should get this:
I would go into explaining Echo off/on, but it's not important, really. All you need to know is:
Echo off: No directories will be shown. (Only what you put in.)
Echo on: Directories will be shown. (Example: C:\Windows\Users\Test.bat Hey!)
Now, try this!
Type in this line of text:
What this does is, makes it where, when you press the key to continue, the second line will show up...such as in the following picture.
Now that you've mastered the basics, let's try some intermediate-type CMDs.
Open up your test file (test.bat), and type in the following information:
This is the result you should get
Now, for this next part, go ahead and create a new folder on your desktop, and name it TestFolder1. Inside this folder, place a picture. Rename the picture to Testpic1, then come back to this guide!
Alright, got it all set up? Awesome. Now, open your test.bat with notepad (Right Click -> Open with -> Notepad)
Erase everything inside, and replace it with:
Note: You can replace "start XXXXXX" with any file you wish, just be sure to type it *exactly* as it is saved!
Here is the output of the project above:
Alright, guys, had enough of the easy peasy stuff? Let's get advanced.
First off, open your Test.bat in a notepad file, and completely clear everything, and start fresh.
Now, type the following information into your document:
Now that that's all typed up, give it a shot, and save your .bat file, and then go open it up! This *should* be the output!
Awesome! Now, let's move on to using "Calls". What a call does, is import a .bat file into your current .bat file, now, to do this, simply type the following information in! (After clearing your slate from the previous example.)
Now, save your file!
now STOP HERE!
Before opening this batch file, create a new batch file, by going the following:
1. Open notepad.
2. input the following information:
The result should look similar to this:
Amazing job so far! Let's see...how can we make it even more advanced...Let's make a digital clock!
As always, before we continue, open your default test.bat, and clear everything inside.
Now, type the following information (you may wanna just copy/paste):
The result should be as follows:
Oh dear, did I skip ahead way too fast?
Well, join me next time in my EXTREME guide to .bat files, and I'll go into depth of how the clock was created!
For now guys, this has been Photoshopexp3rt/Jordan.
