How do i run commands on secondary Batch file?

[ahsabb]

I have a batch file application that executes some commands
I need to invoke this batch file by another new batch file and execute the commands related to it.

For Ex:
Calculator.bat : executes command like "mov a, b" .

Now i need to create a batch file that invokes Calculator.bat and executes "mov a, b" command in Calculator.bat

Thanks in advance

if your Calculator.bat executes multiple commands depending on command-line parameters,
all you need to do is just call it from another batch file like this:


call Calculator.bat <your params>


general approach to execute various commands may be as follows:

in your Calculator.bat you write



if "%1x"=="movx" goto MovCmd
...

:MovCmd
<execute it>

thanks for the reply Alex,

But the constraint here is that I cannot modify the calculator.bat and also Calculator.bat does not take any parameters

[ahsabb]

FurtherMore the Calculator.bat gives a prompt like
calc>
and waits for the command.I need to give the command for this from my batch file

Thanks

ahsabb, you asked this same question (http://www.codeguru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=412775) yesterday. Please do not post duplicates, it simply floods the forums.

I will have the moderators merge the two threads.

So I will repeat what I said then. A batch file has no parameters so you cannot invoke mov a, b from the batch file. the only thing you can do it run that batch file by using another. That is simply done as you would execute a program.

What you want, cannot be done with batch files.

Oops, sorry, I removed the thread a bit too fast :blush:
I read the first sentence in your post in the other thread and it said "This is the server-side scripting forum. I will have this moved to Windows OS Issues." and didn't read any further... won't happen again.
