Genx Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 hmmm. basically what im wanting to know is how you put multiple commands on one line, and could someone please give me an example? cheers genx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wim Decorte Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 don't use returns. You can send multiple commands at the same time by separating the commands with "&" or "&&". With "&" cmd will execute the 2nd command even if the first one failed. With "&&" the 2nd one will only fire if the first one succeeded. You can string as many commands together as you like but there is a maximum # of characters to a command line (8000 or so I think). Hunt for this file on your machine for more info: ntcmds.chm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
