Open up a notepad.
Type in the the batch parameter you need to run.
Then save it as a .bat file.
File > Save as > myfile.bat
Example:
If you need to to copy a file (filename picture001.jpg) in C: drive to the D: drive, you can create the batch to do the task by typing the following parameter in the batch file.
xcopy [path of the file] [destination path]
xcopy C:\picture001.jpg D:
Now save it as a batch file and double click to run it.
Enjoy!
The most common way to make a batch file is with notepad. You type the code in a new text document but when you save it, save it as a .bat file.
The batch file should now appear on the directory you saved it.
You can get basic help on getting started with batch scripts at the Microsoft page below.
You could type the command lines (those lines that you want the CMD to run) on Notepad (you know it right?? :) and then save it, give it a name then add '.bat' at the back, it'll make it extension.
Or just save as a notepad document (.txt), then rename the .txt to .bat and when it asks you something like 'are you sure you wanna change it because the file might be unusable' something like that appears, just click yes, choose to rename the extension still.
Now double-click the newly saved file and it'll be ran by the Command Prompt.
Good luck, enjoy :)
By how simple and for what function? I have a example of a simple batch file:
@echo off
echo Hi
echo.
pause
exit
This batch file just displays a note, waits for a key to be pressed, and exits
A batch file is a text file with a .bat extension.
If you created a batch file in notepad, select File/ Save As.... After selecting a directory/ folder, enter a file name with a .bat extension and change the line under the file name from ".txt files" to "all files".
So if you have a powercut or something, you will have the files backed up.
Hope I'm talking about the right thing!
you can use notepad for creating a batch file. just when you save the file that you made, add .bat as a file extension. like this: "sample.bat".
1. open notepad2. save file as yournameforthefilehere.bat
To create a batch file open notepad, textedit, or whatever editor you wish to use. Once open write your program, check for errors, and "make simple text." Save this program as whateveryouwant.bat. Open the file and the batch file will execute.
You can make a batch file from a note pad by saving it as YOURFILENAME.bat. Click on FILE on the menu and choose SAVE AS, then save it as YOURFILENAME.bat.
Make a batch file. Open up notepad, type in the commands just like you would if you had a C:\prompt and choose "save as." When you save it, remove the .txt extension & use .bat instead. Batch files can be executed just like an .exe, any commands in the batch file are put to a command prompt & executed. So just put the batch file (or a shortcut to it) in programs/startup in your start menu & youre done!
the extension of a batch file is ".bat"
Easy enough to create a batch program is you know what the commands are simply goto a text file or notepad and save it as "something.bat" and click on it
Nope, the format of a file is a vital part of a successful batch file. Even if a file with an unknown file format contains working batch file code in it, a batch file will still not be able to read it because of its foreign file extension. If you want the batch file to be able to read the foreign file, then you can set it to rename the mutated file to .bat format and then read it for it to work. Example: @Echo off REN File.Foreign File.bat CALL File.bat exit
To create a batch file, click on Start > All Programs > Accessories > Notepad.Enter the commands you would like to execute.Click on File > Save. When prompted for a file name, you must select the file type "All Files (*.*)". Make sure the file name ends in ".bat", such as "dostuff.bat".The file will be saved in the folder you specified. It can be executed by double-clicking on the file.
A batch file is the text file that contains a series of commands that MS-DOS carries out. A batch file is created by COPY CON command after specifying a file name by using extension as .BAT in DOS mode.
