Batch Code?

[BKR1888]

Can someone explain to me what batch code is and give me some examples as I'm abit stuck on them.

Batch is roughly the equivalent of Unix's bash.

You wont be able to do much in batch.

Batch has indeed nothing to do with bash. Even bash, the Bourne Again Shell, may often be available on Unix based systems, it is also available on any other platform. Bash implements a very powerful C-like command line language with multiprocessing support, ...

A batch is something like a stack of jobs often of the same type to be executed one after the other. F.e. you may process time-consuming jobs one after the other at night from a batch file.

Thanks for your responses :)

Both bash and cmd.exe execute batch processes.

On Windows systems, files to be interpreted by cmd.com are called "batch files", and they can be fairly expressive as well.

What exactly is this for?
