hey

okay, i need to know how to open a batch file with a batch file in a different window


EX:


...%homepath%\desktop\test.bat

would go right to the batch file and keep running

i want it to stop, open the other one in a different window, and exit

Open your file in notepad.

Or use a shortcut rather than that first batch file?
Sorry, I fear I've missed the point of this exercise!

I Believe you are looking for the CALL command

ie.

CALL %homepath%\desktop\test.bat
Exit

or you could just do
%homepath%\desktop\test.bat
and i belive that would open the other bat file. The current bat file would just freeze though...

I would use the start command

start %homepath%\desktop\test.bat

or

start /wait %homepath%\desktop\test.bat
if you want the main batch to wait for test.bat to close before continuing.

Works with vbs scripts, .exe's, etc just fine too.
