Title: Pause with 0 text...
Post by: Xeratul on March 07, 2006, 06:07:58 PM

I don't like the pause command's text.

 I mean that I would like to take away the "Press any key to continue . . . ".  

Or at least is it possible to modify the text it displays.

Is this possible?

You could redirect the PAUSE output to NUL to get rid if it.  Or to change it, you could echo just before it.

No text:

Code: [Select]

@echo off
pause >NUL
Modified text:

Code: [Select]

@echo off
echo Press a key when ready
pause >NUL
