poll: .bat or .cmd for batch files

[FoBoT]

which do you use? old school .bat or new school .cmd ?

.bat bitch

I use .bat. I suspect those that use .cmd trend a bit younger.

i must be a rebel, i am 39 and only use .cmd and try to convert .bat users to .cmd use

.bat just makes me feel, ... dirty, it reminds me too much of windows 95 i think

.exe fool! What's up with the old school bat/cmd?

 

[zoiks]

.sh and .pl for me. Also use .py but not as much.

I've been using .bat for my Microsoft batch files since DOS 3.3, man. No way in hell I'm going to stop now!

For Linux/UNIX, you don't even need an extension if you don't want one. Just chmod the sucker to be executable, and run a ./batchfile to run them.

Hmm. What to use to make BATch files....

It's not a BATCH file it it doesn't end in BAT. It's just a script.

 

[rh71]

you can use .cmd ?! :shocked:

 

[Bassyhead]

*.bat

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

.bat

 

[RedCOMET]

I use both. I usually use .bat more often, but sometimes .cmd.
