How To Start @echo off Script After @powershell Script in same BATCHFiLE?

#1 Post by DELvEK » 12 Sep 2019 17:34

I was wondering if anyone knows if its possible to make a Batch script execute Powershell command and then execute @echo off right after?

Let me explain in more details.

I have a batch script
BATCH-COLORS.BAT
that open a CMD and animate my text and here is the code:

Code: Select all

@powershell "gc '%~f0'|select -skip 1|%%{$_.getenumerator()|%%{write-host $_ -nonewline -foregroundcolor black -backgroundcolor darkred;sleep -milliseconds 100};''}"& pause>nul& exit/b

[============================================]                                              
A SiMPLE BATCH COLORS TUTORiAL WiLL FOLLOW... 
                         PERSONAL REMENDER =D 
[============================================]
So that part is actually working but I would like to add a batch script into the same file.
BATCH-COLORS.BAT
• And execute it like-so when the animated text finish; I can press any key to continue (or ENTER) and it would clear the same cmd prompt and start the next batch script. Batch script I would like to start after animated text:

Code: Select all

@echo off
:TITLE
title DELvEK .BAT COLORS TUTORiAL
SETLOCAL EnableDelayedExpansion

:END
•And How to make when the second script restart it reload from the first script (animated text) instead of going back to TITLE..? •

I did not create theses script that I found on Google and they are both working good separately.
BUT I would like to join 2 of them in a single .BAT file.
I tried many many different methods and always not working or if it is working the first text is not animated anymore.

Re: How To Start @echo off Script After @powershell Script in same BATCHFiLE?

#2 Post by penpen » 13 Sep 2019 03:08

If you don't want to change the logic of the PS script, then you should just place it at the end of the combined batch file and just update to skip all lines up to the "@powershell" command.
That might help you:

Code: Select all

@call :psScript

:: place the content of the other batch file here

@goto :eof

:psScript
@setlocal enableExtensions
@for /f "delims=:" %%a in ('findstr /n "^@powershell" "%~f0"') do @(
	set "line=%%~a"
)
@powershell "gc '%~f0'|select -skip %line%|%%{$_.getenumerator()|%%{write-host $_ -nonewline -foregroundcolor black -backgroundcolor darkred;sleep -milliseconds 100};''}"& pause>nul& exit/b

•How can I make the script reload to the animated text when it restart instead of restarting at "TITLE" ?
- when I replace "goto TITLE" with "goto psScript" it works but the script close by itself when restarting ...
•Is it normal I see theses lines

Code: Select all

...for /F "delims=:" %a in ('findstr /n "^@powershell" "...\HELPED.bat"') do (set "line=%~a" )

...>(set "line=168" )
Thanks in advance

Sorry, i've forgotten to suppress some echoes.
I changed the above code a little bit (by adding some '@' characters).
Should work now.

I can't reproduce that behaviour (sorry - instead it loops all the time until typing "NO" in one of the screens), did you changed something else in your code?

The merged code i tested:

Code: Select all

@call :psScript
@echo off

Re: How To Start @echo off Script After @powershell Script in same BATCHFiLE?

#7 Post by DELvEK » 16 Sep 2019 11:21

no. But its all fine and thank you again Im going to work with this and change the script to make it pause at the color legend and ask to quit or to reload the script into a new terminal instead and by default closing the first one.

thanks to you, very appreciated !
