Batch File Help

Okay, so I figured out how to make one batch file send information to another one. The solution was quite simple. Sejma helped, both witht he final design and for support. I just want to know if there is a way to time an IF command without using CHOICE. Basically, I want to combine the two:

ping localhost -n x > nul
if %a% equ a goto a

If that is even possible, I don;t know. I know I've posted a million questions already, so I'm very sorry about that. Thank you for your time.

EDIT: Figured it out.
IF %A% EQU A GOTO A & PING LOCALHOST -N x > NUL
Now, does anybody know how to convert a .EXE file to a .BAT file?

 You've only asked three.  That's not too many!

 Nah.  Ask as many as you like, as long as they aren't questions that have already been answered (meaning here or google).

Your questions are very good (out of the three you posted so far).  

Unfortunately, I don't have the answer you are looking for.
