Intor to Batch files - simple commands

[dalex17]

Hi,

Can I get some assistance on creating a quick and simple batch file (is this even the correct group)? I am a first time creator of a batch file and am not finding the internet very resourceful.

My goal is to do the following:

1) Open a program (SQLTalk)
2) Open a file
3) Run the file
4) Close the program

There is a Centura forum: forum854 that might be a better venue. I do something like you describe with WinBatch (Wilson WindowWare -

I don't know if you can use Windows Scripting Host. Unfortunately, I never learned how to use it.
