Solve : Stuck with a simple batch file?

Answer»

Hi,

I have a batch file:


call a.bat
... some stuff...
command 1
command 2

a.bat looks like:
... set env. vairables...
call b.bat
...set env. vairables...

The problem i am facing is, when i run my batch file, a.bat runs and that's all.
I have to press enter, then command 1 & 2 start to execute.

Further command 1 & 2 start parallely.
2 doesn't wait for 1 to complete.

ThanksA small update:

When i press

it types
ERROR!

and then proceeds ahead.Code: [Select]call a.bat
... some stuff...
command 1
command 2

a.bat looks like:
... set env. vairables...
call b.bat
...set env. vairables...

PLEASE post the entire contents of the calling file and both the a & b bat FILES. If you are truly getting a message "ERROR!", we'd never know it from what's posted. Should be interesting what "...some stuff..." refers to.

Ooops,

My apologies.

I was just digging from where the !ERROR was coming.

Somewhere in recursive calling of batch files, there was a cmd commnad.

That's why my commands were getting executed after TYPING exit.

Thanks Sideee BTW,

Can this somehow happen that 2 commands get called in parallel. Quote

I'm not sure how unless the two commands are started, in which case they would run in separate processes (windows).

A call statement CREATES a return mechanism which allows some secondary external code UPON completion to follow an address pointer back to the next sequential instruction after the call

Running external code from a process without a call mechanism would simply transfer control to the external code with no pointer back to the original process.
