Questions tagged [batch]

A batch file is a text file containing a series of commands to be executed by the command interpreter on MS-DOS or Windows operating systems.

A batch file is a text file containing a series of commands, usually saved with file extension .bat (on both MS-DOS and Windows) or .cmd (on Windows only).

The commands are executed by the command processor of the operating system:

  • command.com on MS-DOS or on MS-DOS-based Windows versions (Windows 3.1, 9x, ME);
  • cmd.exe on NT-based Windows versions (Windows NT 3.5/4, 2000, XP, Vista, onward); (this features so-called command extensions which are enabled by default; if they are disabled, cmd.exe is meant to be compatible with command.com, but there are several exceptions;)

Do not use the tag for topics about batch-processing files, neither use it for Spring-batch!
