Mr Andrewson Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 See... I'm only 12 and i want to get into batch... In the first 5mins of seeing how to make a batch file i made a batch file which would start my photoshop cs2 and firefox instead of me going through countless folders searching for them... So i'm just asking does anyone know anywhere with some good batch file tutorials... no downloading just notepad and batch... anyone? Quote
Mr Andrewson Posted August 20, 2006 Author Posted August 20, 2006 Like... Stuff like this: Echo Off title Blah Blah Blah echo. echo Starting Something start something start something pause exit ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- But more complicated...

Sparda Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 It seems to me you alredy know how to do that... Quote
Mr Andrewson Posted August 20, 2006 Author Posted August 20, 2006 I know but i want it more complicated Quote
Sparda Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 As in, what? What do you want the script to do? Quote
jool Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 As a fan of just using the basic documentation my tip is to start up cmd and then type 'help' which will list all the built in commands and give information on specific commands. The ones that you might want to look at to begin with when doing something a bit more complicated is probably 'call', 'goto', 'if' and 'for' which allow for branching and looping. Quote
Mr Andrewson Posted August 20, 2006 Author Posted August 20, 2006 Ok i checked all them, when i get home tomorrow i will check them out :) Does anyone know the easiest language to learn on the internet? Quote
blizz Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 Yes, PHP is fine for beginners. Read that, page by page: http://www.php.net/manual/en/introduction.php You will most likely have to setup an apache webserver, php and later mysql on your mom's machine (I think that was you, wasn't it? Hehehe..) Have fun, I was a php god once. I ascended into rubyism then *scnr* :-) Quote
Sparda Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 HTML to PHP is a fairly big jump... I suppose that JavaScript is sort of the middle ground. But then any one who knows the meaning of "browser security" will have JavaScript disabled at least initialy when they visit a site. Quote
Mr Andrewson Posted August 20, 2006 Author Posted August 20, 2006 Yeh my mum machine im 12 i can hardly afford it.. Quote
VaKo Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 Basic PHP and HTML go hand in hand, if you can do html, php will come easily. I was working on a website that started as html, but as the project grew I moved towards implimenting php code to aid scalability. Javascript was a bit more complex imo, but hey, each to there own.

Sparda Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 Becasue you might just want firefox or photoshop by it's self, so now you have to wait for both of them to load so you can close the other. Quote
Mr Andrewson Posted August 21, 2006 Author Posted August 21, 2006 Lol you don't get me i always load firefox and photoshop cs2 at when i log on to do my daily sig ;) *cough* gamerenders.com/forum... Quote
