|command: REMark |
|use: The REM command displays on the CRT screen any text that is on |
| the same line as the REM cmd.when a batch processing file is running|
|how:Type:(in a batch processing file) REM <comment or message> |
|actual batch file: REM This file checks new disks |
| REM It is named MAKEDISK.BAT |
| PAUSE Insert new disk in drive B: |
| FORMAT B:/S |
| CHKDSK B: |
|NOTES: REMark can be used to send messages to the screen or simply |
| to document some part of your batch file's operation. REM won't work|
| with ECHO! We prefer REM ONLY for short files. The computer opera- |
| tor(it won't always be you)will want to know what is happening.Also,|
| after some time,you may forget what a complicated set of commands |
| actually does. REM messages can be up to 123 characters long,but DO |
| keep the width of the screen in mind. This way you can control the |
| display and make it even more meaningful. CENTER remarks when you |
| can. ALL of the foregoing of course also applies to ECHO messages. |
| If a line in a batch file starts with one or more periods (.) it is |
| treated as a remark (in DOS 2.xx, DOS 3.x won't allow this). THUS |
| REM This is a test a-n-d . This is a test are treated equally. |
