Another way to keep terminal window open

#1 Post by samsonwilliams » 29 May 2024 19:38

At the end of the batch file I have "pause" to keep the window open. However, any time I press any key, as the terminal states, this causes the window to close. I would like to keep the window open so that I can do a search for keywords within the terminal window using CTRL+F. Is there another function besides "pause" that can achieve this?

Thanks for your help on this.

Hi Samson,

Have you tried opening cmd.exe and running the batch file from the command line?

Hope this helps! :wink:
