INTRODUCTION TO BATCH FILE PROGRAMMING

Batch file programming is the native programming offered by the Microsoft Windows Operating

System. Batch file is created using any text editors like notepad, WordPad, WinWord or so on, which

comprises of a sequence of built-in commands used to perform some often done tasks like deleting a

series of files of same type or of different type, creating logs, clearing unwanted craps from your

computer and even for creating a batch VIRUS.

               Whenever a Batch program is executed, it was interpreted line-by-line by the CLI (Command

Line Interpreter) command.com or the cmd.exe. Batch file is really helpful in automating tedious tasks

and for maintaining system logs. The commands used while creating a batch file are case insensitive, in

the sense that it may accept both small and upper case letters.
