PAGE01 :- 

WHY WE HAVE TO USE BATFILE IN 2020

💁      💁      💁      💁

A batch file contains a series  sequence of commands that runs when you open it. Is commonly written in notepad.exe. Busing Batch syntex and Dos Comands.

Why we need Batch File programmes in  the year 2020??

Say you need to execute a set of commands over and over again to perform a routine task like

Backing Up files from one directory to another, Moving Files, Renaming Files, Ziping files, Unziping Files, Deleting Old FIles, Deleting Five day old files, To make this Task  automatic  we Need Batch files.

I do not want to keep my learnings to myself, so deside, to creat BLOG of  batch tutorial  and adding few more learnings to IT people, which may benefit many other software student and developers working in this lovely industry. 

I worked for Dos commands Many years starting from 1984 onwards. I wrote more than 500 batch file, script files, in my service.

Who can write bat file - who knows computer knowledge, can write batch programmes in  short time.

UNDERSTANDING THE TOOL FOR WRITING BAT-FILE:-

1. NOTEPAD.EXE
2. CMD.EXE - DOS PROMPT 
3. DOS COMMANDS 
4. BATCH SYNTEX

1)

notepad.exe
or
notepad++
or
edit.exe

Use always Notepad.exe, 

Notepad is Non Document - ASCII file editor.  

How to get notepad -- Go to "start" in windows  type cmd.exe and noepad.exe

   or goto windows-start, type notepad.exe

2)

CMD.EXE
How to get cmd.exe or Command Promot, or Dos Prompt.
Goto to "start" in window Type cmd.exe

c:\ windows\system32\ - this directory will appear in dos-prompt. or c:\

 

3) 

DOS COMMANDS
How to get DOS COMMANDS goto start-in-window type cmd.exeType :- help
example c:\windows\system32\help You will get around 86 Dos Commands.

4) 

BATCH SYNTEX and Dos commands :-
Batch Script always used with Dos Commands. Some of the Batch Syntax samples are given below.

Batch script syntax and description:-

@echo off	............	display off  - do not display command processing
@echo on	.............	display on  - display all command processing
echo		display text  - one line
rem		Do not display - one line
::		Do not display  - one line
if not exist		performs conditional processing eg- if not goto  Next level
if error level 1		any error levelprocessing in the programme goto Next level
for and do		Runs a specified command for each file, within  a set of files.

cd	............	goto directory
cd..		remove one directory
cd\		goto root directory
md		make new director
rd		remove directory
| pipe sign		Pipe sign syn

if exist	............	Performs conditional processing in batch program
if		Performs conditional processing in batch program
goto		goto loop,  next processing
if not exist		error  goto Next level
if error level 1		error goto Next level
%1 -%9		passing variable  while running batch file in dos prompt
%%		variable used with if condition
>		This syntax used to store  batchfile sc to file test.txt
>>		This syntax used to store batchfile screen output to a file test.txt

For Detaile Description and example Microsoft 

Dos commands  link given below: 

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/windows-commands

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COPY CON COMMAND:- 

(This command can be used when notepad.exe not available in computer)

A Simple bat-file writing without using Notepad.exe :- 

COPY CON example given below. Do not use this command, just for information.  Use always notepad.exe :- 

TYPE copy con in DOS-PROMPT

copy con test.bat 

cls

pause

CONTROL Z 

will save  filename test.bat in the same directory.

Run programme test.bat   -- this will clear the screen

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IMPORTENT POINT TO REMEMBER, WRITING BAT FILE.

Creating batch commands keep file name within 8 character, and bat  or .cmd for windows 2000  eg. test.bat or eg. test.cmd

While creating a batch file, keep in mind  that do not use Dos command file name 

eg. xcopy.exe   using same file name xcopy.bat not allowed.

Use always lowercase letter or small letters for writing programmes.

After completing batch file in notepad select goto file select "save as"   select "o not use control "S" for saving.

If any space in directory use quotes writing programmes c:\"windows test directory".

Always use full directory path eg. c:\main\del *.txt  inside  batch files. Otherwise it deletes all files

in unknown directory. Careful while using "del" command.

Important message to run batch files in computer:-   Applies to: Windows -- Windows Server 2019, Windows   2016, Windows 2012 .

OR

PING  8.8.8.8   /t

(Google dns IP addresses 8.8.8.8)

Sample programme 1 :- tested ok

Down data msg uploaded to status-d.txt file .

UP message msg uploaded to  status-u.txt.

@echo off

:: creat four  File name in c:\main

::status.bat  -- batch file name

::status1.txt 

::status2.txt

set dated=%date:~-4%_%date:~3,2%_%date:~0,2%

set timet=%time:~0,2%_%time:~3,2%_%time:~6,2%

echo %dated%

echo %timet%

:start

timeout.exe 300

::pause the batch file upto 5 mnts

c:

cd\main  

del  c:\main\status1.txt

::delete status1.txt evertime automatic

ping google.com > c:\main\status1.txt

find /I "ttl" c:\main\status1.txt 

if errorlevel 1 goto down1 

@echo  **-- Data line 1 is  UP **--  >> c:\MAIN\status2.txt

echo %dated%  >> c:\MAIN\status2.txt

echo %timet%  >> c:\MAIN\status2.txt

echo ---------------------- >> c:\MAIN\status2.txt

goto  line2

:down1

@echo  **-- Data line 1 is  down **  >> c:\MAIN\status2.txt

echo %dated%  >> c:\MAIN\status2.txt

echo %timet%  >> c:\MAIN\status2.txt

echo ---------------------------------------DOWN >> c:\MAIN\status2.txt

:line2 

goto start

::When you copy the file change directory according to you c:\main

HOW THE BATFILE WORKS:

When you ping "ttl" string will be displayed  in screen. Put these 
ping output-message   to text file eg. status1.txt. by using  >> (TWO greater than sign) .

Fined string "ttl" in "line0.txt" by using "find" doscommand. If "ttl" does not exist in status1.txt

put message to down.

NOTE:-

What is the difference between Ping and ipconfig:

Although ipconfig displays information, it can also be used to make basic configuration changes and reset certain facets of DHCP and DNS.
Ping is used to test connectivity to other hosts
