I've recently come back to batch coding. Now, all my code is ready, but I want to add a special feature: a password protected "developer mode".
I've been thinking about cmd /c "" but this just exits the window.
I want to insert a code that terminates the current batch job, but then stays in the command prompt window so that the user can normally execute commands that may even affect the .bat file.
If you call your batch from another batch with start it stays up.
runfirst.bat :
start mybat.bat
mybat.bat :
your preexisting code here
mybat.bat will stay open and you can continue to execute commands in that window.
My exact test:
(Both files saved in C:\temp7)
runfirst.bat
cd c:\temp7
start mybat.bat
mybat.bat
ipconfig /all
The cmd windows stays open to c:/> after being ran.
cmd /?in an open cmd window ->cmd /Kand what aboutexit /bin your batch? Seeexit /?or read about batch commands in ss64.com
