Return to original bat file

[falcios]

I run dostest.bat & within that batch file i call dostest2.bat

In the second batch file it has the exit command. What commands do i use to return the second batch file to the 1st to complete.

Thanks in advance.

Batch execution ends if the end of the batch code was reached. Thus, in most cases you don't need to quit it with an additional command. You may use EXIT /B or GOTO :EOF if you want to exit from somewhere whithin your code.

To be able to return to the 1st batch after finishing the 2nd batch, you need to use the "call" command.
Batch1.bat:

Code: Select all

...
call batch2.bat
rem continue with the rest of batch1 file.

Also ensure you use exit /b in your exit protocols of your child script to return to parent process.

Using exit without /b will terminate entire CMD process....
