More Windows Command Prompt Via Batch File Tutorial (try twirling round bottom of image for a synopsis ... 'do the twirl now')
This tutorial builds on the previous Windows Command Prompt Via Batch File tutorial, showing you the use of some Windows Command Prompt commands such as set /a, set /p, date, time, echo, pause, call, if, goto, for/f, systeminfo, ping, choice to help with your continued research. Windows Command Prompt Batch files can do amazing things and I’d like to link you to Strings for some brilliant thoughts regarding this. The date parsing ideas were from Windows Batch File (.bat): Get Current Date as MMDDYYYY (thanks a lot).
Here is some downloadable Windows Command Prompt Batch File programming source code which you could rename to ideas.bat as you see fit (and hopefully don’t have a fit?!).

echo
cd [place]
dir
type
more
tasklist
vol

… to find further information.
So here goes … we will open the Command Prompt application … then run a preprepared
Batch script … but just concentrate on its commands, rather than doing scripting
… that is for later … at the end of the presentation the Batch script is typed
out for you.
Let’s explore some more command prompt commands below on 20/3/2013 …
