How would I go about creating a batch file that opens up a bunch of others all at once? Like, persay I had batch1, batch2 and batch3...

How would I go about creating a batch file that runs batch1, batch2 and batch3 all in one go?

Although I've never done batch programming, after a quick overview of the language I'd say you'd accomplish such a thing with something like:

Code:

CD "Path\To\Your\BatchFileDirectory"
batch1.BAT
batch2.BAT
batch3.BAT
batch4.BAT

Hope this helps.

That opens batch1, when batch1 is done, it moves onto batch2 and so on and so forth. I wanna know if it's possible to run all of em at one time, simultaneously.

This should work:

Code:

@navigate to directory before running batch files
START batch1.bat
START batch2.bat
START batch3.bat
START batch4.bat

Hope it helps.
