Try using the conditional execution & or the && between each command either with a copy and paste into the cmd.exe window or in a batch file. Additionally, you can use the double pipe || symbols instead to only run the next command if the previous command failed.
You can use batch scripts to run multiple commands and instructions on your machine simultaneously. Using a batch script, you will be able to execute all your commands one by one automatically.
Click Start, type cmd, and press Enter to open a command prompt window. In the Windows taskbar, right-click the command prompt window icon and select Command Prompt. A second command prompt window is opened.
Use:
echo %time% & dir & echo %time%
This is, from memory, equivalent to the semi-colon separator in bash and other UNIXy shells.
There's also && (or ||) which only executes the second command if the first succeeded (or failed), but the single ampersand & is what you're looking for here.
That's likely to give you the same time however since environment variables tend to be evaluated on read rather than execute.
You can get round this by turning on delayed expansion:
pax> cmd /v:on /c "echo !time! & ping 127.0.0.1 >nul: & echo !time!"
15:23:36.77
15:23:39.85
That's needed from the command line. If you're doing this inside a script, you can just use setlocal:
@setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion
@echo off
echo !time! & ping 127.0.0.1 >nul: & echo !time!
endlocal
