Giving more commands when a program has been executed

[q-bertsuit]

Hi,

I'm completely new to writing batch scripts. I'd like my script to run netcat and then send a few commands, but when I run it, the script stops and waits for netcat to exit.

Is there a way to write commands when the netcat promt comes up? This is what I have done so far:

:: WP.bat
:: Runs WordPerfect
::
::@ECHO OFF

C:
nc -u 192.168.xxx.xx 60000
set_transport_type:tcp
^C

After the " nc -u 192.168.xxx.xx 60000 " command netcat prompts and is ready for commands, but the "set_transport_type:tcp" is never run.

Thank you for your time

You want these command executed inside netcat, not the command line, right?

That's not a batch file issue but a script issue for netcat, if netcat accepts script files.

Thank you your answer.

Yes, I would like it to execute these commands inside netcat, but it still runs in the cmd window?

So there is no easy way around this?

Look at the help for netcat to see how to use a script file or provide a URL to the version you are using, so one of us can have a look.

You may try this:

Code: Select all

C:
(
echo set_transport_type:tcp
echo ^C
) | nc -u 192.168.xxx.xx 60000
