creating batch file

[mam]

Hi,

Does anyone guide me to write a batch file to run all files in a folder at once

[Neil]

Not sure if it's possible. Why do you want to do that anyway?

[Corrosive]

Yes it is possible, and there are various reasons for doing it. I use it to start up Apache Server, MySQL server and HTML editor at the "same" time (technically, they are being run one after the other, but due to the speed of modern processors it appears they start simultaniously).

Anyway, the command you are looking for is the "start" command, ie:

start [path to program]

Simple, eh?

[cs]

Assuming the folder with the files to be executed is t, then a script like this should work:

Code: [Select]

@echo off
echo @echo off > temp.bat
for /f %%i in ('dir /b t') do (
   echo call t\%%i >> temp.bat
)
call temp.bat
del temp.bat
I used the command call to run the files (assuming they are batch files). Maybe you have to use start ?/b?.

Cheers,

New problem.
I need help with a batch file problem I'm having.  How do I make today's date, like Jan. 24, '04, the name of the folder I wish to create in my documents such that each time I run the file it will produce the current date for a new folder each/every day.  Replies appreciated.
Thanx Phil.
