How to create Batch Programme - LESSON 2
Hello Everyone today I am going to teach you Modes in Batch Programme. If you not yet read my 1st tutorial, visit and read it first.
There are two different modes that are supported by DOS (Disk Operating System), they were,
Interactive mode:
In interactive mode, when a command is executed, it interacts with the user for input and depending upon the input supplied by the user, the further processes are carried out. For example, let’s take the ‘del’ command
The ‘del’ command is used for deleting files that reside inside a directory. Now I am going to delete all the files inside a folder named ‘a’, and when I executed the following command, it is interacting with me prompting “Are you sure (Y/N)?”, confirming the deletion operation, and depending upon my input, it decides what to do. If I hit ‘Y’ then it will delete the files specified, else if I hit ‘N’ then it won’t delete.
EX :- C:\>del a
C:\a\*, Are you sure (Y/N)? y
In this if i enter "Y", "a" will delete.
Batch Mode:
Batch mode can also be referred as ‘Silent mode’ or ‘Quiet Mode’, and this is mere opposite to the interactive mode. The command that operates at batch mode will never interact with the user at any instance, instead it will take care of every operation by itself.
EX :- C:\>del /Q a
C:\>
In this case, the command is not at all interacting with me, whether to delete those file or not.
