because of the link limitations I'll put the links in code blocks

here's what we have here:

Some other techniques:

autoit (search on the page for autoit) and kixtart:

here's my attempt with python 2.7 (does not work with python 3)

Code: Select all

0<''' :label

@echo off
echo batch 
python %~f0 %*
exit /b 0

'''

print "something"

for python 3.5 this can be used but it prints one redundant "&":

Code: Select all

0<0# :& @goto :python
'''
:python
@echo off
echo batch part
python %~f0 %*
exit /b 0
'''
print ("something")

ADSalways can be tried also..


XML based languages are easy here's an apache ant test:

Code: Select all

<!-- :
@echo off
echo batch message
call ant -f %~f0 %*
exit /b 0
-->

<project default="echo">

    <target name="echo">
        <echo message="ant message"/>
    </target>



</project>

EDIT
Didn't pay enough attention to the siberia's man post.

This work for all python versions:

Code: Select all

0<0# : ^
''' 
@echo off
echo batch 
python %~f0 %*
exit /b 0
'''

print("something")

Thank you for taking the time to put this together.

here's a PHP polyglot:

Code: Select all

<?php/* :

@echo off
echo batch part
php -f "%~f0"
exit /b 0

*/?>

<?php  print "php part\n";?>

Next on the list is Ruby and may be Lua (ideas for other languages?)


every part of PHP executable code must be put in <?php ...?> block . The other things are printed directly to the console (because it is mainly web development language)
with /**/ you can have multi-line comments. So redirection priority trick is used.

PHP has also REPL capabilities with PHP -r switch which is used extensively here.

EDIT.
Turns out I'm not the inventor of this technique -> http://whitescreen.nicolaas.net/program ... p-polyglot

Ruby was really easy .
With @variableName you can define instance variables. :

Code: Select all

@break #^
=begin

@echo off
echo batch part
ruby "%~f0" %*
exit /b 0

=end
puts 'ruby part'

#comment is one line comment

=begin
is for multi line comments
=end


with @break defines ruby instance variable and is silent in batch. with # is started one line comment and the ^ is to hide the next line for the batch script where the ruby comment starts.


Ruby also comes with REPL tool - IRB. Can be used for one liners like echo 5+5|irb

Can you tell me what the cryptic parts are doing and what my error is about.
Thanks.

Code: Select all

0<0# :& @goto :python
'''
:python
@echo on
echo batch part
c:\python34\python.exe %~f0 %*
exit /b 0
'''
print ("something")

C:\Temp\DOSBatch> &
The system cannot find the file specified.

C:\Temp\DOSBatch>echo batch part
batch part

C:\Temp\DOSBatch>c:\python34\python.exe C:\Temp\DOSBatch\Test17.bat
something

C:\Temp\DOSBatch>exit /b 0

Hola.

I've already edited my first post.
Better use the script proposed by siberia-man:

Code: Select all

0<0# : ^
''' 
@echo off
echo batch 
python %~f0 %*
exit /b 0
'''

print("something")

there are differences between python 2* and 3* and this will work for all of them.

The first line will understood by python like

0<0 #comment

and the second line as a start of multi line comment.

Batch on the other side will parse the first two lines like:

:0<0# '''

First the redirection has bigger prio than the other commands and this will put the semicolon at the start and then this will be taken as label.
Second the caret "^" will escape the new line and the three quotes will go the first line

So the first two lines are ignored by batch and are a start of multiline comment for the python.

clojure is so easy that I feel ashamed to post it here (semicolon is a comment character as in every LISP like language):

Code: Select all

;@echo off
;call clojure "%~f0" %*
;exit /b 0
(println (format "Hello world"))

Clojure is intended as a REPL tool and you can use pretty complex one liners with it.
Clojure comes without installer/caller and is de facto just a jar file so its to you to create a proper calling script.
In my case I've put the clojure folder in the %PATH% and I've put there this 'script':

@java -cp "%~dp0clojure-1.8.0.jar"; clojure.main %*

groovy

the same as jscript/node.js

Code: Select all

0<0/* :
@echo off

echo batch part
groovy "%~f0" %*
exit /b %errorlevel%

*/

println "Groovy part"

Hmm... Like AutoIt, AutoHotKey uses semi-colon(;) as comments...

Hope this could help.

yep. Also Kixtart .Here are examples - http://www.robvanderwoude.com/clevertricks.php

Squirrel

I don't know where I can download binaries from .I've saw only source code here
but at least the build with visual studio was easy:

Code: Select all

::print("");/*
@echo off
echo batch part
sq.exe "%~f0" %*
exit /b 0
*/
print("Squirrel part\n");

Code: Select all

language reference
http://www.squirrel-lang.org/doc/squirrel3.html#d0e410

with :: you can access global scope the environment objects .This includes the print function. Comments are in C style so making a hybrid was easy.

Scala

Code: Select all

@deprecated("Used for batch polyglot", "1.0")/* 2>nul 
  @echo off
  echo batch part
  call scala -howtorun:script "%~f0" %*
  exit /b %errorlevel%
*/
object HelloWorld {
  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
    println("Scala part")
  }
}

Scala launcher is a batch file so call in front of it is needed.
It has -howtorun option that can be used to surpass file extension checking.
Scala inherits from java some annotations and deprecated can be used outside of an object , so basically it is java-like hybrid without need to worry about file extensions.


Some other languages that I've tried and failed
R - it allows single statements as 0<0 but prints in the console FALSE which is irritating
DLang - compiler is file extension sensitive though it supports java like annotations .
Lua - does not support single statements.

Found a nice solution to combine php and bat.
Along with php-wfio this can be an extremely powerful combination.

Code: Select all

<?/*# :
@echo off

echo cmd
php "%~f0" %*
echo cmd again

exit /b

*/

// Use https://github.com/kenjiuno/php-wfio/releases to work with the filesystem.

echo "php\n";
if (count($_SERVER['argv']) > 1) print_r($_SERVER['argv']);

if (!empty($_SERVER['argv'][1]) && $_SERVER['argv'][1] === 'notepad') {
   $WshShell = new COM("WScript.Shell");
   $oExec = $WshShell->Run("xidel.exe", 3, true); 
}

//$wmi = new COM("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!//./root/cimv2");

Saw that Lua was missing here, this worked for me:

Code: Select all

--[=====[ >nul 2>nul
@echo off
lua %~f0 %*
exit /b 0
