Advanced programming? Writing batch files would be considered low end scripting.

I think it means advanced for batch...

True, but it was advanced when i was learning it :)

Well I hope you broaden your knowledge and feel free to ask questions. I recommend downloading MS Express Visual Web Developer and experimenting with existing code.

I put the return thingy on my flashdrive with the autorun and tried it on my computer. It didn't work, so I then tried it out on my brother's computer.
Still didn't work.
Why is that? Can anyone tell me?

Apr 8, 2010. 8:40 PMXOIIO (author) says:

Not sure what this question is starting from, but most likely the computer has autorun disbled. Any more details?

Would learing batch be a good way to get a step into programing?

Feb 17, 2010. 11:43 PMXOIIO (author) says:

Yes, a bit. I would focus on vbs scripting, and that can do more advanced things, then get into python or c++

For some reason, my computer refuses to allow me o use msg. it says that it is not recognised. any idea as to what might be causing this to happen?
thx, ty, or whatever you prefer!

Nov 12, 2009. 12:06 PMXOIIO (author) says:

sorry this took so long. Did you type it in "MSG * this is my message"? Sometimes MS-Dos messes up, but it wouldn't let batch files open at all if it did.

strange... it works on xp but not on vista...

Sep 2, 2009. 1:17 AMsmilerxs says:

what language is this? c , java or other?

Sep 2, 2009. 4:51 PMXOIIO (author) says:

neither, a batch file simply displays the text, and waits fir you to press a key to display the next line. Very simple stuff.
