General format for openning several files in a single <BATCH FILE>

[spdCHF]

Many thanks for help.
Now I am going to make a <BATCH FILE> that would open several files under the command <sleep>
1) one by one
2) several simultaneously.
 What IS THE GENERAL FORMAT OF THE <BATCH FILE> TO EXICUTE THE PROGRAM, PLEASE ?

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

Sorry, what?

[spdCHF]

Sir, my question is as clear as crystal. If you know English you will understand,otherwise never. I am again putting my question in another way:-
1)suppose I want to play 5 (five) movies (movie1,movie2,movie3,movie4,movie5) one by one. How should I write them after the command <start> ? Separated by comma (movie1,movie2,movie3,movie4,movie5 with their extensions),or other way so that they play one by one (sequentially) ?
2)If I use <sleep> command once and write < start movie1,movie2,movie3,movie4,movie5> with proper path and extension,would it work ?

With regards

I am wanting answer to this question quick for need in project.

e-mail at IcoulddothismyselfifonlyIcouldlearnhowt [email protected] k thx for your help if you don't help no thx bye.

this question is so trivial I won't even bother answering. In fact, technically I already answered it.

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

Why would you need such thing?

[macdad-]

Perhaps a virus?

Your question is as murky as mud. I know English, and, it seems to me, you do not.

                       TO BC_Programmer with thanks
                       =======================
Sir, my well working <BATCH FILES> are
1)PLAYVLC.BAT
 @echo OFF
start d:\vlc1.avi
sleep 20
start d:\vlc2.mp3
sleep 20
TASKKILL /F /IM VLC.EXE
2)1.BAT
@ECHO OFF
START /MIN PLAYVLC.BAT

 The 1st BATCH FILE "PLAYVLC.BAT" is to play two separate files,namely,
vlc1.avi and vlc2.mp3.
 The second "BATCH FILE" 1.BAT is to keep 'BLACK MS-DOS window' minimized.
 My question is if there is an alternate way to write file names in a single line
under single <sleep time> command.
 I think I make you understand my query.

no

[macdad-]

But it is possible in a FOR loop.

Code: [Select]

@echo off
for %%a in (1 2) do (
if '%%a'=='1' start d:\vlc1.avi
if '%%a'=='2' start d:\vlc2.mp3
sleep 20
)
taskkill /f /im VLC.EXE

Hope this helps

no

Sir,you said that I don't know English and you couldn't answer my question.Later I explained the matter step by step as a teacher do in primary level. Then perhaps you understood my question and the answer was "no".
But thanks to macdad- who answered positive. It can be done.
I request you not to answer "yes" or "no" which is beyond your knowledge;a person doesn't know everything. Learn to say "I don't know".
 Excuse me If I hart you anyway.

Wow, if primary teachers explained it that way, we'd have an awful lot of complete retards!

your "clarification" of the query:

My question is if there is an alternate way to write file names in a single line
under single <sleep time> command.

made ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE. given macdad was somehow able to decipher the babble you call "english", the solution doesn't even match what you asked.


A: it uses more then one line.
B: it executes the sleep command more then once
C: the sleep command, physically speaking, is underneath the file execution


basically- it meets NONE of the requirements you specify, because apparently what you meant to say was, "how can I do this with only one call to sleep?" which is NOT what you said.

However I must echo a kudos to his perserverence for helping somebody with the social skills of a thermonuclear device.

learn a few ground rules. If nobody helps you with a issue, it doesn't mean they don't know a solution, it's just that they don't like dealing with people who create multiple topics under different names to try to evoke a reply and use broken english that they insist is fully understandable. Unfortunately not everybody is autistic, so we can't infer meaning from broken sentences and grammatically ambiguous statements.

I bet this place has more proportionately than the general population

[BC_Programmer]

probably.

I just had to add the link, too. 

[spdCHF]

Sir, macdad- used the <sleep> command once. Which was the key word.

Thanking you,
spdCHF

[BC_Programmer]

having two key words in a ambiguous sentence doesn't disambiguate the sentence.

Apparently you don't know English very well or you don't know how to double check your spelling.

I think you wanted to say  "Excuse me if I HURT you in any way."

spdCHF,

We all are very helpful and friendly to help with problems. But all BC and Dias wanted was just a simple, to the point question. And don't blame Carbon, BC, and Dias; their helpful as well(and actually more experienced). But relating to what Carbon said that it can't be done, I sometimes say no to alot of requests regarding batch scripts. Since Batch can't do a lot of "Magical" actions.

Also creating multiple accounts all requesting assistance with similar malicious-related activities tends to beckon at least a little malice.

Sir, I  am very sorry, if I hurt them anyway, I apologize. Thanks a lot for your kind recommendation.
