Batch Lessons part 4

In this lesson I am going to teach you how to make folders and delete folders.  To make folders you type in md "foldername goes here" .  To delete a folder you write rd "foldername" .  Md stands for make directory, you can also you mkdir.  Rm stands for remove directory, you can also do rmdir.

Batch Lessons part 3

In this lesson I am going to teach you how to code an input box in batch.  To make the question you will have to do @echo Question here.  Then you will have to code an input box like this.  set /p inputname= .  Then input name can be any 1 word thing.  Then it will save the name that you put there as a variable.  Variables can be echoed like this.  @echo %hi%.  You can also make something like this where if the answer is yes it will do something.


@echo off
@echo Would you like to download this file? (yes / no)
set /p question=
If %question% EQU yes goto yes
If %question% EQU no goto no
:yes
@echo Hi
pause
exit
:no
@echo Hi
pause
exit


For the If's EQU stands for equals, GTR stands for greater than and LSS stands for less than.

Claim: Victor likes Teresa

Victor is always trying to see Teresa.  Victor is also always trying to stalk Teresa.  I think Victor likes Teresa because of these reasons.

Victor is trying to see Teresa all the time.  He is trying to see Teresa at lunch.  He is also staying behind after class so he can talk to her and see her.  He is trying to get Teresa to notice him by constantly stalking him.  Victor is thinking that Teresa will be his girlfriend this year.

Victor wants Teresa and other girls to notice him.  He sees his friend Michael and finds out a way to make girls notice him by scowling and he tries it a lot.  Victor stays behind after class to talk Teresa and make her notice him.  He goes to French class so she will notice him.  He pretends he knows French to impress Teresa even though he doesn't know any French.  In English class when Victor has to say a noun he says Teresa.

Victor likes Teresa a lot.  At the beginning of the story Victor thinks to himself that Teresa will be his girl this year.  Victor remembers that he has likes Teresa since they were taking catechism classes at Saint Theresa's.
 He thinks that with any luck he will be in the same class as Teresa.  He always wants to see Teresa and talk to her and get her to notice him.

Victor has a big crush on Teresa.  Victor has been trying to see Teresa constantly and he has been trying to get her to notice him.

Batch Lessons part 2

Today I am going to teach you how to code Batch.  If you type in title in then something else it will make it the title.


title Hi


You could also make a program like this where it randomly switches titles.


@echo off
:1
title qa
:2
title fd
:3
title as
:4
title rd
:5
title sd
goto 1


Also to goto a spot you type in goto then the name of that place.  To make a place a place you have to type a : before the name and the name can only be 1 word long.


:hi
@echo Hi
pause
goto hi

Super Accurate Clock

Today I will show you how to make a super accurate clock.  Just type this code into notepad and save it as clock.bat


@ECHO off
color 2f
:A
@echo %time%
GOTO :A

Batch Lessons part 1

Today I am going to teach you how to code a little Batch.  Batch files are saved with the .bat extension.  Today I am going to teach you how to make it write stuff and other basics.  The first thing you should do in a Batch file is write @echo off.  You do not have to do this but the file will look much better if you do.  On the next line type @echo what you want to say goes here.  Then on the next line write pause.


@echo off
@echo Hi
pause


@echo off makes it hide what the program says it is doing.  @echo will make it say something.  pause makes you have to press any key to continue.  Exit will make the program exit.
CLS will clear the page so you could write a code like this.


@echo off
@echo Hi.
pause
CLS
@echo What is your name?
pause
CLS
@echo I am Tate.
pause
CLS
exit


It would look like this.

Guessing Game with Batch

This is the code for a guessing game that is made from batch.  It is a 2 player game and you can choose if you want it to be hard easy or medium by choosing how many guesses you get.  Just copy it down and save it as guess.bat .
