Ok,eraser , Crow , Codine made batch tuts and no1 understood,because it was complicated..so ill try to make simple as it can be
the words in ( ) are just remarks.. they wont appear
to start off there is the @echo off/on
and there is echo
and pause
so here is an example
Quote:
@echo off
echo Hello This is a test
pause
type this in notepad and save as test.bat
launch it
it will look like this
Quote:
Hello This is a test
Press any key to continue...
Again open notepad and write:
Quote:
@echo on
echo Hello This is a test
pause
and save it on the desktop as test2.bat
launch it , it will look like this
>
Quote:
C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop>echo Hello This is a test
Hello This is a test
C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop>pause
Press any key to continue
So for the explanation
@echo off/on:
if you put @echo on it will show the directory as you just saw
if you put @echo off it will just show the words with no directories
so its best to use @echo off
echo:
If you want to type a simple phrase just type in echo and something in this case echo Hello This is a test
which will show Hello This is a test
pause
pause will pause the batch file,if you press a key the batch will continue in this case it will exit because there is no more left
so try this
Quote:
@echo off
echo Hello This is a test
pause
echo I am testing pause
pause
This will show
Quote:
Hello This is a test
Press Any Key To Continue...
(when you press a key it will show)
I am testing a pause
Press Any key to continue..
so that convers the pause command
Now some more commands
there is msg *
and there is cls
open notepad and write:
Quote:
@echo off
echo Hello This is a test
pause
cls
echo I am testing pause
msg * The End
pause
and save as test3.bat
This will show
Quote:
Hello This is a test
Press Any Key To Continue...
(when you press a key it will show)
cls
(the page will clear)
I am testing a pause
(a pop-up will show saying The End)
Press Any key to continue..
So .. cls will just clear the screen
and msg * will bring up a pop-up:D
other commands are REM and goto and start
so create a folder name it Test
put any picture inside and name it testpic
open notepad and type
Quote:
@echo off
echo Testing start and rem
rem title Test
start testpic.jpg (or any other extension)
pause
and save it inside the new folder as test4.bat
launch it , it will show:
Quote:
Testing start and rem
Press Any Key To Continue
(and the picture will launch)
so start will launch any file
and rem is a remark.. which wont show in the bat file when running
now the goto and set and if
type this inside notepad
Quote:
@echo off
echo This is a test
echo If you want to do math type 1 and press enter
echo If you want to see a picture type 2 and press enter
set /p option=
if '%option%'=='1' goto :math
if '%option%'=='2' start testpic.jpg (or any extension)
:math
echo 2+2
pause
and save it inside the new folder
this will show
Quote:
This is a test
If you want to do math type 1 and press enter
if you want to see a picture type 2 and press enter
(here you can type 1 or 2 and press enter)
(if you press 2 and Enter the picture will load)
(if you press 1 and enter this will show up):
2+2
Press any key to continue...
so goto will go to a Label or a Part of the file
when you put :Math
a new label will be named Math and when you put goto :math
the batch will go to :math
set
the set option will set something :D.. here its going to set :choice
the set is , in some options followed by if
so if I type 1 in this example
the "choice" will be 1 .. and it will go to :math because we put
if '%choice%'=='1' goto :math
so if we put 1 the choice will be 1 therefore it will goto :math
anyway those are the basics..
stay on hackforums.net and wait for more batch tutorials.. next time it will be more advanced
Helloo!!!....First go read my batches for n00bs tutorial.. it got the basics.. anyway.. let me start
i am going to talk about call,exit,and SHIFT?
go into notepad and type this
Quote:
@echo off
echo yay me i know the basics of batch
call call.bat
pause
exit
and save in a new folder:)
then open note pad and type this again
Quote:
@echo off
echo I Love S*X
pause
and save in the same folder that you save the last one... and name it call.bat
launch the first one
this will show
Quote:
yay me i know the basics of batch
I Love S*X
Press Any Key To Continue....
(when you press a key the below will appear)
Press Any Key To Continue...
and when you press a key it will exit
ok.. so now you know what exit does.. it exits the file Imao
and call ,calls in another batch file!!..
so now for SHIFT which is a little hard so try to understand
SHIFT [/n]
If Command Extensions are enabled the SHIFT command supports the /n switch which tells the command to start shifting at the nth argument, where n euh.. can be between zero and eight.
just like this 1 below
SHIFT /2
would shift %3 to %2, %4 to %3, etc. and leave %0 and %1 ..euh.. how can i say it.. .:S.. unaffected yea thats the word .
Examples
the below has got to be saved as .bat.. so just name it test:)
@ECHO OFF
ECHO - %1
SHIFT
ECHO - %1
After creating the above example test.bat file, if you were to type the below command at the MS-DOS prompt, it would print "- ONE" and then "- TWO"; this command is commonly used to work through each of the command extensions or remove command extensions.
(SHIFT , i mean the explanation... i got it from a website and edited it)
Ok I hope you understand
ok thats it for now.. ill post a Batch Features Later
Hello... please read the 2 tutorials before i will talk in this one about a lot of features here we go!:D..
first we will learn how to launch windows applications:
type in notepad:
Quote:
@echo off
echo I am testing notepad!
start /MIN notepad
pause
This will show
Quote:
i am testing notepad
(and notepad will start minimized.. if you put /MAX instead of /MIN it will launch maximized)
Press Any Key To Continue
Now lets learn how to put a timeout inside a batch..
goto notepad and type:
Quote:
@echo off
echo i am trying timeout
set wait=0
:pause1
set /a wait=%wait%+1
if %wait% leq 1000 goto pause1
echo IT WORKED!\
pause
dont understand the command.. just copy paste it.. or memorize it .. if i tell you the explanation it will take years!!..
so this will show :
Quote:
i am trying timeout
(couple of seconds and.. )
Press Any Key To Continue...
Now ill teach you how to change the TIME
goto notepad and type:
Quote:
@echo off
echo Gee!.. i wonder what time it is!!
TIME 5:50
echo Oh so its 5:50
pause
this will show:
Quote:
Gee!.. i wonder what time its is!!
Oh so its 5:50
The TIME will just change The TIME:PImao

Quote:
@echo off
echo trying the colors
pause
