How can I make a batch file wait until another batch file has finished?
For example, I have:
echo hi >r.txt echo some piece of code >>r.txt start ar.bat echo some piece of code >>ar.txt I want the code after start ar.bat to execute only after ar.bat finishes executing. I tried without start and it works, but I want to run ar.bat in a separate window.
Is there any method to check whether ar.bat has finished?

Type in your command.TIMEOUT — Type timeout time where "time" is replaced by the number of seconds to delay. For example, typing in timeout 30 will delay your batch file for 30 seconds.
You can insert the pause command before a section of the batch file that you might not want to process. When pause suspends processing of the batch program, you can press CTRL+C and then press Y to stop the batch program.
Run batch file with Task Scheduler To use Task Scheduler to run the batch file automatically at a specific time, use these steps: Open Start. Search for Task Scheduler and click the top result to open the app. Right-click the "Task Scheduler Library" branch and select the New Folder option.
Use call ar.bat to do it completely with batch file commands.
Use start /wait ar.bat to get another window and wait for it to complete.
