BATCH SCRIPTING

How to Create and use batch files?

What are batch files used for?

Basic batch file commands.

 

What is Batch file ?

The definition of a batch file as it used in a Windows/DOS environment is a text file that contains a series of commands that executed in sequence for windows for perform and operation.

 

Why is it called a batch file?

It’s called a batch file  because it “batches” a sequence of commands that would normally have to be ran one at times.

How do you Execute a batch file ?

You can run a batch file two ways. Create a shortcut the batch file or create your own batch file and save it to your desktop or somewhere in the files structure you have access. Then you can either double click the icon for the batch file, or you can execute from the command line simply by typing the filename and extension, e.g. batchfile.bat, and pressing enter.

 

The purpose of batch files is run many DOS commands at once sometimes pausing to allow the administrator to interact with the operation by entering data or starting the process if the process is paused.The Commandsthat are used to program the batch file are similar to DOS commands. Here is a list of the important commands that are used and their definitions:

 

* ECHO -Displays text on the screen.

* ECHO OFF - Hides the text that is normally output.

* START - Run a file with its default application.

* REM - Inserts a comment line in the program.

* MKDIR / RMDIR - Create and remove directories

* DEL - Deletes a file or files

* COPY- Copy a file or files, Allows you to copy files with extra options.

* FOR / IN/ DO - This command lets you specify files.

* TiTLE - Edit the title of the window.

 

Creating your batch file in windows:

 

Once either Notepad or Wordpad is open you can start typing your batch file. Here is an example of a batch file typed out in a text editor. Type the following:

 

@echo off

Echo Hello this is a text file

Pause

Dir c:\windows

Pause

 

Click File and then Save, and then navigate to where you want to save the file. For the file name,  type “test.bat”, and if your version of windows has a “Save as type” option, choose “All files”, otherwise it saves as a text file. Once you have completed these steps, click the save button and exit notepad.

 

To run the batch file, double-click it like any other program. Once the batch file has completed running it closes automatically.

 

Creating the batch file from the Commandline.

1. Open an MS-DOS command window or load MS-DOS.

2. In the MS-DOS prompt, type: edit test.bat and press enter.

3. If typed correctly, you should now see a blue edit screen. Within the screen, type:

@echo  off

Echo Hello this is a text file

Pause

Dir c:\windows

Pause

 

4. Once these three lines are entered, click file and choose exit., when prompted to save, click YES. Users who do not have a mouse cursor can accomplish this same task by pressing ALT + F to access the file menu, and then X to exit. Press Enter to save changes.

5. Once you are back at the MS-DOS prompt, type: test and press enter to execute the test.bat file. Because the first line is a pause, you will first be prompted to press a key. Upon doing so, the batch file runs line-by-line; in this case, listing the files in the Windows and Windows\system directories.

 

 

Here is a batch file for creating and deleting user accounts.

 

ADD USERS

1. Click on Start button

2. At the bottom of start menu in search box type Notepad and press enter key.

3. In the notepad type command NET USER USER1 123 /ADD, where USER1 is the user name that you want to create an 123 is the password for the user account. If you want to create 50 users at a time you can simply copy the entire command and can paste it 50 times on the same notepad and change the user names as per your requirements like USER1, USER2, …and so on.

4. Once you are done with commands you can save the notepad file with .BAT extension. For example, CREATE_USER.BAT . Make sure you specify the file name and extension between “”.

 

 

DELETE USERS

1. Click on start button

2. At the buttom of start menu in search box type notepad and press enter key.

5. In the notepad type command NET USER USER1 123 /DEL,   where USER1 is the user name that you want to create an 123 is the password for the user account. If you want to delete 50 users at a time you can simply copy the entire command and can paste it 50 times on the same notepad and change the user names as per your requirements like USER1, USER2, …and so on.

3. Once you are done with commands you can save the notepad file with .BAT extension. For example, DELETE_USER.BAT . Make sure you specify the file name and extension between “”.

CONVERT .BAT TO .EXE

 

.exe files are executable files. To convert .bat to .exe file download the following software.

 

Advancedbattoexeconverter.exe from MediaFire website

 

Open this and agree it to install.

 

You can type or import .bat file. And Now Export through these settings,
