Command Prompt Scripts

[Guest]

I have a command prompt "script" that I have that runs on startup of one
particular account within my computer.

Is it possible to DELAY the next command in my .bat file so that I have a
chance to read the information returned from my previous command.

Eg. ipconfig /all

(I wish at this point to have the information on my screen for ten seconds)

I then wish to run the rest of my commands, eg. mapping my network drives etc.

Hope you can help

Please - in the future - cross-post if you feel the necessity.

As you put in another post you didn't want to use "sleep"..

And open the link in Internet Explorer..
Firefox doesn't seem to just allow you to scroll down to the answer.
Weird. Never noticed it before.

Are you talking a .bat file?

If so, put the command
pause
at the the place where you want a delay

As it says, you then
Press any key to continue

Alternatively you could redirect the output of the Command Prompt to a text
file.
You can then access that text file whenever you have time...

Simply change your script:

ipconfig /all >"c:\a folder\a filename.txt"

And the Command Prompt output will be saved as the specified text file.

Cheers. Works well. I've chosen to export all of the data bits to a .txt on
my desktop.
