Batch File
Batch File
Once set to run, a shell program translates the batch file and performs the instruction line by line. The batch file is very useful when running a series of executable instances, automating what would normally be a tedious process.
The batch file’s extension is .BAT. When used in other environments, different extensions may apply and make it unrecognizable. The extension in Windows NT is .CMD and .BTM in 4DOS and other relative platforms. Though there is a difference in extension, the function remains the same. Different shortcuts are also taken to launch the extensions. The .BAT runs on a 16-bit executable processor while the .CMD extension makes use of the 32-bit NT .CMD.EXE with all required extensions in enabled.
Diverse from the shell script found in Linux-like platforms, limited syntax and functions make batch files less suitable for basic programming purposes. This has led to the increased usage of features found in other executing utilities.
