Creating a .bat file

Question

Hi,

I am trying to execute a command CSRUN.exe with certain parameters from command prompt. I am able to do this using command prompt. Everytime instead of invoking this from the command prompt, i thought of writing a batch file, where in a single click will help me and also i forward this to someone who wants to execute.

Following is the one i am executing from the command prompt, which i want to have in a batch file

C:\Program Files\Windows Azure SDK\v1.1\bin>csrun.exe E:\Publish\ServiceConfiguration.csx E:\Publish\ServiceConfiguration.cscfg /launchbrowser

Can somebody suggest me how to create a batch file for invoking this command?

Answer 1

Just put those commands in a file

csrun.exe E:\Publish\ServiceConfiguration.csx E:\Publish\ServiceConfiguration.cscfg /launchbrowser

and name it something.bat

Answer 2

Just copy

csrun.exe E:\Publish\ServiceConfiguration.csx E:\Publish\ServiceConfiguration.cscfg /launchbrowser

inside an empty file and save it as a .bat..

Answer 3

Try using the start command and, if csrun.exe is not in your path you will need to specify an exact path for it:

start csrun.exe E:\Publish\ServiceConfiguration.csx E:\Publish\ServiceConfiguration.cscfg /launchbrowser

Save the above in a .bat file.

Also remember to put double quotes around paths with spaces in them.
