Command Prompt Question

J

Jim

Is there a way in Windows XP to execute a batch file and have the computer
pause after every command? I know I could put a pause statement after each
command but since the batch file has over 1,000 lines it is a bit tedious.

In windows 98 it used to go something like this if my memory is correct

T2.bat /c /k

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Jim

I have attached ADDPause.txt.
Rename it to AddPause.vbs and place it in a folder that is in your PATH, like c:\util.
If you batch is c:\util\mybatch.bat, then at a CMD.EXE prompt:
cscript //nologo c:\util\AddPause.vbs c:\util\mybatch.bat c:\util\Pause_mybatch.bat

Then run Pause_Mybatch.bat instead of mybatch.bat.

Actually, it is not, since it can easily be automated.
