scripts and batch files

[tennesota]

Anyone know of online resources for information about writing and using scripts and batch files?

Assuming you're referring to DOS batch files and Windows scripting...

A few places to start on batch files:

http://home7.inet.tele.dk/batfiles/intro/contents.htm

http://gearbox.maem.umr.edu/~batch/batchtoc.htm

Windows scripting refers to a VERY broad range of activities. A starting point on the ins and outs of Windows scripting can be found here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/periodic/period99/w9p99b4.htm

with more information available by just searching the MSKB / Technet. Searching the MSKB / Technet can be a bit tiresome, but the surface information, and information about how to find in-depth information, is all there. It will help to narrow your focus to a specific type of task that you wish to accomplish and search on the related terms. If you get into this, don't neglect to consider the security issues that arise from using scripting.

An excellent aid to script production is here:

BUT there are a LOT of alternatives. You might do a search.

Good luck!
