I like to have a final PAUSE
in my *.bat scripts so I can just double click on them in Windows explorer and have the chance to read the output. However, the final PAUSE is an annoyance when I run the same script from the command line.
Is there any way to detect whether we are running the script from a command prompt (or not) and insert the PAUSE (or not) accordingly?
(Target environment is Windows XP and greater.)
Update
I've managed to compose this from Anders's answer:
(((echo.%cmdcmdline%)|find /I "%~0")>nul)
if %errorlevel% equ 0 (
set GUI=1
) else (
set CLI=1
)
Then, I can do stuff like this:
if defined GUI pause
