Code: [Select]start abc.bat
start def.bat

That doesn't work. It just opens the command PROMPT. If you want to open at the same time, try this.

Code: [Select]start cmd /c abc.bat
start cmd /c def.bat
That will open them up in their own window, and your first script can continue running (3 windows open).Quote from: Helpmeh on April 06, 2009, 05:56:40 AM

Yes it does.

abc.bat

Code: [Select]@echo off
echo This is abc.bat
echo hello world

def.bat

Code: [Select]@echo off
echo This is def.bat
echo goodbye world

xyz.bat

Code: [Select]@echo off
Echo this is xyz.bat
start abc.bat
start def.bat

Result...
Wierd...that just opens 2 instances of the command prompt.Quote from: Helpmeh on April 07, 2009, 07:08:20 PM

Are abc.bat and def.bat in the same folder as def.bat? Do they contain any commands?
I say, you've got Consolas as your Command Prompt Font too.

I cannot stand the default font! The raster one I mean. I used Lucida Console for a long while, toyed with Courier New for a bit, but Consolas is my favourite. I don't like WHITE text on black background either. I use Lucida Sans Typewriter in my text editor (Ultraedit32).
I switched to Consolas in VB6... courier new LOOKS like crap now!

I just wish the IDE had more options for colours and such; or DIFFERENT settings, such as bold and italic for it's syntax colouring. Oh well.

I had "Inconsolata" for a bit, but then I FOUND the free MS download of Consolas so I can use it on XP.

before I decided on consolas I toyed around with "proggy fonts":

for me, they are simply too small.

I'm not sure what the raster font really is, but if I had to guess I'd say it mapped to "system"...


which I might add was the default, unchangable font in Visual Basic version 1 through 3. I guess MS realized with 4 that the font blew hard.Quote from: Dias de verano on April 08, 2009, 12:23:13 AM
