Make windows batch file not close upon program exit

Question

It's all in the title. When the program is over, I want it to say "Press any key to continue..." so I can scroll thru the output.

Answer 1

I believe you are looking for the command "pause". It should ask you to press any key.

You can even appear to change the prompt. Instead of just using the pause statement, you can:

echo "Your message here"
pause > nil

This gets rid of the original pause message and inserts yours.

Answer 2

Hi,

A part of me says that "pause" in the batch file should to the trick. But also give the /K switch a try as well.
