question about batch files

[shateredsoul]

what does "/F" mean when you see it in a .bat file?

[lilshawn]

it's for file parsing,

It depends on the command.  You can show us the batch file.

@echo off
echo GGG otomedius boot
HidGet.exe /F
type HidBoot.id
otomedius.exe

that would be a PARAMETER for that particular command/program. Usually if you type HIDGET /? or HIDGET ?  will list those parameters and what it means.
Or sometimes, just type the command with no parameter and will give you a list (like pkzip, mame etc....).

Hope I made sense.


But that whole thing you listed is a BATCH file that will run each command one by one until the end.
