How do you get a batch file to show all done after it has executed a batch file?
ok, open notepad, now type in: @echo off pause (your executions) pause echo ALL DONE pause Now save it as alldone.bat on ur desktop. It does your execution, then you hit any key to continue, and it says "ALL DONE" how cool is that? That works but you could also use the call command to use it. Example first make a batch file to display all done @echo off Titile all done echo All done! Pause>null exit Once that is finished save it in the same directory as the file that you want to call it and then ad a new text line to your batch file Example @echo off call Alldone.bat - If you would like to clear the screen of any text first you could use CLS before the ECHO and PAUSE commands. Also if you want to only see "All Done", you should include ">nul" at the end of the pause command. Example: @echo off Echo Copying files... Echo Copy done. CLS Echo All Done Pause>nul The above example would have an end result of just displaying "All Done" at the top of the screen and will wait for you to press any key in order to end the batch script. - There are more advanced methods for determining if a command completed successfully and based on the result you could indicate to the user if it all got done correctly or if there were any problems. With the above example, you would not know for sure if it did it's job and the user would only have to assume it did. If you want more info on this, look up information on "Exit Codes".
