I know it seems this has been asked before, but I need a batch to open another batch in a new window. I've tried:
start abc.bat
cmd abc.bat
run abc.bat
and others. They've all opened in the same window or just opened Command Prompt in new window, ignoring my batch. Is there a batch command to open a batch file in a new window?
It's a little bit strange that start abc.bat doesn't work but I assume this is because you are running this in the middle of another batch. You probably need call:
22:22:38.85 c:\help call
Calls one batch program from another.
CALL [drive:][path]filename [batch-parameters]
Giving you start call abc.bat or call start abc.bat depending on what the exact problem is.
Is this what your after?
start "New Window" cmd /c test.cmd
start abc.bat works for me. What is the problem in your case? You could also try start cmd /c abc.bat.
To simply do it is just
start cmd /c "exampleexample.bat"
This could also work with spaces;
start cmd /c "example example.bat"
And directories.
start cmd /c "C:\NAME\Example\Hi there\example example.bat"
I created my universal batch with this and this works flawlessly.
Unfortunatly, I know of no such method (I encounter the same thing). However, try killing the old window when you start the batch
abc.bat:
abd.bat
stop
abd.bat:
@echo off
@echo It works!
If you are going to run it in a different command prompt, type start C:\abc.bat or whatever the directory of abc.bat is, or if you want to open it in the same command prompt, type call "C:\abc.bat" again, wherever the directory is. It should work
Either: call "C:\abc.bat" or start C:\abc.bat
