New line in dos batch file

When you are running a series of utilities in a single batch file, you may need to echo a blank line between utility execution to have a clear view of the command prompt. Learn how echo new line in batch file works. Note: The main code is between the REM statement. The two spaces are mandatory. Output: Hello World. World echo.

Though echo. Output : Hello World. The trick is the GOTO command in the first line of the script. The batch script will then run the OSQL. In fact the file can be opened and executed in Query Analyzer as is, since the batch script in the file looks like a comment to the query language processor.

Now we can embed SQL queries into a batch file. But how can we pass arguments from the batch script into SQL? This can be done using a temporary table. Temporary tables live as long as the connection to the SQL Server. EXE twice? The trick is that OSQL allows to use the -i and -q option at the same time whereas: -q specifies a query string to be executed -i specifies a filename with SQL syntax to be executed Both the query string and the SQL file will be executed using the same Server connection.

Some testing shows that the query string -q will always be executed before the -I SQL file, which allows us to use a query string to set up a temporary table.

The trick of renaming the Perl. However the solution I have seen so far needed batch code before and after the Perl script where as the solution presented below only needs some lines of DOS at the top.

When running the batch the DOS command interpreter will read the first lines and execute the file itself in Perl context.

This example works just as the previews one but will wait 4 seconds before the application finally closes. This is just enough time to inspect the screen output before the window vanishes. The delay can probably be done much easier in Perl, but somebody just starting on Perl might find this still useful.

A nice side effect is that you can minimize the batch window and still observe the progress output in the task bar, since the task bar text will always reflect the window title text.
