Batch, although many people think is "nooby and useless" has many, MANY uses, for windows of course.

Lets start off with some basic commands.

@echo off : This command is not essential, it only makes the appearance of your batch program look neater, by turning off all the pretext that is inside of batch programs.

pause : This sets a pause in the program, prompting the user to press any key to continue.

cls : cls clears all the text on the screen.

exit : This, obviously, exits the program.

echo : this "echos" the text you put after the command. For example: "echo Hello World!" prints Hello World! on the screen.

color : This sets the color of the text. The colors are defined below:

0 = Black 8 = Gray
1 = Blue 9 = Light Blue
2 = Green A = Light Green
3 = Aqua B = Light Aqua
4 = Red C = Light Red
5 = Purple D = Light Purple
6 = Yellow E = Light Yellow
7 = White F = Bright White

" " : Quotation marks open the process set inside the quotation marks. For example:
"www.google.com" Will open Google.com.

Finally, at the end of coding a program, click file > save as > any_name.bat.

Now lets smash up all of these commands into one program.

@echo off
color a
echo This is my first program!
pause
cls
echo I hope you enjoy it!
pause
cls
echo Now here is a great forum you should try out!
pause
cls
"www.anarchyforums.net"
pause
cls
echo Thats it for now!
pause
exit

I hope you enjoyed the tutorial!

Very basic, might look better with some pictures or colors. Otherwise nice TUT.

It's really simple if you use the toolbar. Just click edit below your post, then full edit to get started.

The toolbar isn't there

It might be because I'm using a proxy.
