I'm fairly new to batch scripting but reasonably competent with programming in general. I'm currently calling a perl script from a batch file and am displaying the result from the perl script in the Windows command window for 10 seconds before exiting the command window.
I'm using the command
timeout /t 10 /nobreak
which is then also printed to the command window after the result of the perl script.
Is there any way to prevent this so that I just see the result of the perl script and then see the timer counting down?
I understand I can append '> NUL' to my timeout command to suppress the countdown timer but this isn't what I want to do. I just want to prevent what I see as a line of code printing to the command window. If this can't be done, it's no problem, I'll live with it. But if I can remove it I'd like to.
Thanks in advance for any help!
If you want to avoid echoing one command, prefix it with @
:
@timeout /t 10 /nobreak
You can disable echoing at all with command
echo off
Normally, you put
@echo off
at beginning of batch file, so commands are not outputed.
Try doing,
timeout /t 10 nobreak>nul
