Batch file: Reading and activate commands from unknown files

Question

I know the title doesn't make sense, but I have one question. I have made this file called Test.bin and here's whats inside the .bin file:

echo Hello World

Since its a test file, I've been trying to see if i can make a batch file that can read the commands in the .bin file and output it onto the console.

Not sure what you are trying to do exactly, but I think you have two options:

Rename test.bin as test.bat and run it with:

test

Start a new command interpreter and send it your commands:

cmd < test.bin

I have used the cmd < Test.bin string and it did what i wanted. Thank you Mark Setchell for the help! Now I need to play with it to get the program to work.

You could also use the copy command. However, for this to work the test.bin file should be in the same directory/folder. Alternatively, you can specify the file's path.

Your code should look something like this:

@echo off copy test.bin

Or, using the filepath method (pretending its on your desktop):

@echo off copy C:/users/me/Desktop/test.bin
