[Echo command in batch]

Type "DIR /?" for information on the DIR commands paramaters

If you want a list of files in the current directory without listing the directory, type this:

DIR /a-d

If you want to get rid of the file information, type this:

DIR /b/a-d

If you want a list of all the files in the current directory and subdirectories without listing the directories, type this:

DIR /s/b/a-d

You can learn a lot by typing the following commands:

SET /?

DIR /?

FOR /?

[Echo command in batch]

The @ character turns off echoing of the command itself, so you only see the output of the command. You can affect the entire batch file by putting a "@echo off" at the beginning of the file.

An example of a command in a batch file without disabling echoing:

echo Hello World!

The result:

echo Hello World!

Hello World!

An example of turning off echoing for an entire batch file:

@echo off

echo Hello World!

The result:

Hello World!

If you want to disable echoing for only one command, use this:

@echo Hello World!

---

Using "@echo off" is very standard for batch files, and you will almost never see one without it.
