Use   echo  time   amp  dir  amp  echo  time    This is  from memory  equivalent to the semi-colon separator in bash and other UNIXy shells   There s also  amp  amp   or     which only executes the second command if the first succeeded  or failed    but the single ampersand  amp  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 gt  cmd  v on  c  echo  time   amp  ping 127 0 0 1  gt nul   amp  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   amp  ping 127 0 0 1  gt nul   amp  echo  time  endlocal
