Batch Files?

[teengeek88]

ok i was just wondering i kinda have a vague idea of what batch files are, but im not totally sure. They are made using Vb right? and what exactly are they used for? i think its for networking, or thats the vibe i got anyway

The batch files I know.. and grew up making.. were files that when ran, could perform, an action, or group of actions.. I wrote simple ones for the most part to launch programs that were deep in a dir..

I use to use Basic, and QBasic..

Batch files are any script, or group of scripts that are contained in a .bat file, and run either by double-clicking or from CLI(command line interface).

They are DOS commands, well, what used to be DOS commands. In short, it's just a text file, with lines of commands that you could use if you went to "Start" > "Run" > type in 'cmd' and hit Enter.

If you're needing a certain thing done with batch files, or want to learn more, I can PM you a lesson or two that I wrote up a while back.
