Before the cloud. Before Python. There was Batch.
Still built into every version of Windows and still powering critical systems today. Batch scripting remains a powerful tool.
This book shows you how to harness that power: recursion, file logic, even object-oriented design.
Rediscover the command line and make your automation precise, fast, and effective.

Gah. Since I've done any of this stuff years ago, everything's changed.
Hey, #coding #Windows #batch peeps:
Trying to make a very short batch file to run a couple of commands. I will put the file into PATH, and all it is meant to do is to change my current directory to the one where my plain text notes live, and list the files, *and then, crucially, when the batch ends, leave me in that directory*. I want to open PowerShell, type the name of the batch file, and be left waiting in the directory where those notes live with them already listed, in one step.
Why does this not work:
cd c:\Users\username\FilesDir
cmd /r dir /w /o
The directory listing that's shown is for the right directory. But when the batch file ends, I'm still in the directory I was in when I called it. All the searching I'm doing is telling me that this should work. Why doesn't it?
“Streaming vs. Batch” Is a Wrong Dichotomy, and I Think It's Confusing

A little bit more than 50 years of #Microsoft, I decide to install a #DOS emulator on my #FreeBSD and enter a command to print a variable's value with the command #echo
Attached is a screenshot that shows what it looks like:
For better results, use #batch #scripts
That's why I prefer #linux or othe #unix-like systems.

Flowblade offers a dedicated Batch Render Queue application. Batch Render Queue is a separate application to Flowblade and runs on a different process, so it is possible to close Flowblade without affecting ongoing renders.
OBSCURE#BAT #Malware Highlights Risks of API Hooking. Researchers discovered an attack chain that uses several layers of obfuscated #batch files and #PowerShell scripts to deliver an advanced and persistent #rootkit.

Payment processing services that support batch payments are helping businesses simplify and accelerate large-scale transactions. Instead of processing individual payments, these services allow companies to send multiple payouts at once — significantly reducing time, manual effort, and operational costs. By automating bulk payments, businesses can streamline vendor disbursements, employee payroll, or refund processes with minimal friction.

That tool I wrote some years ago because you couldn’t be arsed to find a #batch #queueing and capacity management tool? It’s being rehabilitated to work with present-day versions of tools and libraries.
I hope you’re happy, #developers. Enjoy your hollow victory over many years of refusing to address #technicaldebt. I will be keeping the #receipts.
