Bat file to run a .exe at the command prompt

Question

I want to create a .bat file so I can just click on it so it can run:

svcutil.exe /language:cs /out:generatedProxy.cs /config:app.config http://localhost:800         


        

Answer 1

If your folders are set to "hide file extensions", you'll name the file *.bat or *.cmd and it will still be a text file (hidden .txt extension). Be sure you can properly name a file!

Answer 2

To start a program and then close command prompt without waiting for program to exit:

start /d "path" file.exe

Answer 3

If you want to be real smart, at the command line type:

echo svcutil.exe /language:cs /out:generatedProxy.cs /config:app.config http://localhost:8000/ServiceModelSamples/service >CreateService.cmd

Then you have CreateService.cmd that you can run whenever you want (.cmd is just another extension for .bat files)

Answer 4

it is very simple code for executing notepad bellow code type into a notepad and save to extension .bat Exapmle:notepad.bat

start "c:\windows\system32" notepad.exe   

(above code "c:\windows\system32" is path where you kept your .exe program and notepad.exe is your .exe program file file)

enjoy!

Answer 5

You can use:

start "windowTitle" fullPath/file.exe

Note: the first set of quotes must be there but you don't have to put anything in them, e.g.:

start "" fullPath/file.exe
