Hello,
I am interested in learning how to write BAT files for Windows XP (I hope I
am in the right place).

Can anyone direct me to a website that can provide tutorials on how to
learn?

I want to write a program that:

1) opens a program #1 and enters some data
2) waits for program #1 to finish its work, then closes it
3) opens a program #2 and enters some data
4) waits for program #2 to finish its work, then closes it
5) etc...

Thanks

You're welcome.

The only good tutorial I know of is for command.com, but the basics are
the same. See first of my appended links.

If the programs aren't command line one's prepared to read from
StdIn (so I/O is redirectable) you are probaply better of using
windows scripting host with vbscript oder jscript.

Or search these groups. Replace "your+keywords" with your keywords

http://www.google.com/groups?group=a...=your+keywords
http://www.google.com/groups?group=a...=your+keywords
http://www.google.com/groups?group=a...=your+keywords
http://www.google.com/groups?group=m...=your+keywords

or directly open the advanced Group Search page with preentered group:
http://www.google.com/advanced_group...lt.msdos.batch
http://www.google.com/advanced_group...msdos.batch.nt
http://www.google.com/advanced_group....msdos.batch.*
http://www.google.com/advanced_group...mdprompt.admin

If you are using internet explorer as your browser take a look here:
http://www.commandline.co.uk/searchurl/index.html
where Ritchie Lawrence lined out how to ease searching a lot.
