It consists of a series of commands to be executed by the command-line interpreter, stored in a plain text file. A batch file may contain any command the interpreter accepts interactively and use constructs that enable conditional branching and looping within the batch file, such as \u003ccode class=\"language-plaintext highlighter-rouge\"\u003eIF\u003c/code\u003e, \u003ccode class=\"language-plaintext highlighter-rouge\"\u003eFOR\u003c/code\u003e, and \u003ccode class=\"language-plaintext highlighter-rouge\"\u003eGOTO\u003c/code\u003e labels. The term “batch” is from batch processing, meaning “non-interactive execution”, though a batch file might not process a batch of multiple data.\u003c/p\u003e\n","created_at":"2024-07-29T13:32:08.529Z","updated_at":"2026-06-02T00:03:33.364Z","topic_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/topics/batch-file","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/topics/batch-file","projects_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects?keyword=batch-file","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/lists?topic=batch-file"}
