Batch File

A Batch File is a file that contains a sequence of commands that can be executed without having to type each individual command. Batch Files always end in the extension .bat, and are convenient for DOS and UNIX users to execute multiple commands at once. For example, using the command edit in DOS, typing the following commands: cls, date, time, cd \ would clear the screen, display date and time, and change to the root directory if the file is saved as filename.bat. Then, typing filename.bat at the prompt would run the mentioned commands.
