In Unix, we can put multiple commands in a single line like this:
$ date ; ls -l ; date
I tried a similar thing in Windows:
> echo %TIME% ; dir ; echo %TIME
But it printed the time and doesn't execute the command dir.
How can I achieve this?
This question is related to
windows
batch-file
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
Can be achieved also with scriptrunner
ScriptRunner.exe -appvscript demoA.cmd arg1 arg2 -appvscriptrunnerparameters -wait -timeout=30 -rollbackonerror -appvscript demoB.ps1 arg3 arg4 -appvscriptrunnerparameters -wait -timeout=30
Which also have some features as rollback , timeout and waiting.
