How do you name a batch program?

Assuming you mean a shell script (AKA batch file), you simply add a .bat as the extension to any plaintext file. There is no limitation for the actual filename aside from this (except for regularly unallowed charachters like > and /). For instance, if you wanted to name your batch file hello world, you would open up a new notepad document, enter your code, then save as File Name: hello world.bat and change the Save as Type: All Files. Windows automatically recognizes any file with the .bat extension as an executable batch file, so to run it, you would just double-click it like any other document or file. To edit the batch file again, you can right click it and select Edit, or use notepad to open it from its respective location. Hope that answers your question.

Examples of batch system?

An example of batch processing is the way that credit card companies process billing. The customer does not receive a bill for each separate credit card purchase but one monthly bill for all of that month's purchases. The bill is created through batch processing, where all of the data are collected and held until the bill is processed as a batch at the end of the billing cycle.

Why do you have to use the return type for the main function in c language i mean to what does the main function have to return the value to?

It returns the value to the operating system or whatever process launched it. If you launched your program from a batch file then the batch file can detect this return value. If your program is spawned or launched by another program then the return value goes to that parent prgoram or process. One more thing is that you can write main() without the return type and it will be absolutely correct


How do you send commands to a command-line EXE program from a batch?

Just put the commands in your batch file. When someone runs the program, it will execute the commands it comes across line-by-line. - Example Batch Script: This script will run an application EXE file with command line parameters. This will use the shutdown.exe file that comes with windows. It shuts down the computer in 60 seconds. @shutdown -s -t 60 - You could also use the START command. For any command or exe file that runs from the command line, you could open a command prompt and type the name of the file followed by /? to find out what you can use as command parameters. Example: START /?


How can you mask your password when typing in a batch file?
