Creating a simple batch simulating hitting enter key

#1 Post by jackhandy » 24 Dec 2014 11:48

I am trying to write a simple batch program to automate me hitting the enter key. There is a program I am running that requires me to start 1 batch program that doesn't require any user input. Then I start another batch program that requires me to hit the enter key once. Then I start another batch program that requires me to hit the enter key twice. Is there a way to write 1 batch program to automate this? Thank you.

try to call the program that requires enter like that:

Code: Select all

break|call requires_enter.bat

Or...

Code: Select all

<nul call other.bat
...which runs the secondary batch in the same cmd session so, for example, it can pass environment variables back to the caller.
