Bat file to run a .exe at the command prompt

Question

To start a program and then close command prompt without waiting for program to exit:

start /d "path" file.exe

You can use:

start "windowTitle" fullPath/file.exe

Note: the first set of quotes must be there but you don't have to put anything in them, e.g.:

start "" fullPath/file.exe

it is very simple code for executing notepad bellow code type into a notepad and save to extension .bat Exapmle:notepad.bat

start "c:\windows\system32" notepad.exe   

(above code "c:\windows\system32" is path where you kept your .exe program and notepad.exe is your .exe program file file)

enjoy!

Just put that line in the bat file...

Alternatively you can even make a shortcut for svcutil.exe, then add the arguments in the 'target' window.

A bat file has no structure...it is how you would type it on the command line. So just open your favourite editor..copy the line of code you want to run..and save the file as whatever.bat or whatever.cmd

Just stick in a file and call it "ServiceModelSamples.bat" or something.

You could add "@echo off" as line one, so the command doesn't get printed to the screen:

@echo off
svcutil.exe /language:cs /out:generatedProxy.cs /config:app.config http://localhost:8000/ServiceModelSamples/service

If you want to be real smart, at the command line type:

echo svcutil.exe /language:cs /out:generatedProxy.cs /config:app.config http://localhost:8000/ServiceModelSamples/service >CreateService.cmd

Then you have CreateService.cmd that you can run whenever you want (.cmd is just another extension for .bat files)
