.bat vs .exe

[brian]

hey, just messing around with some scripting and had a question. is there any dfference betweeen .bat and a .exe file?

A .bat is just a text file with commandline commands in it. An exe is a compiled program.

.bat can run a .exe file, I hope you're not trying what I think....

I have no idea what you are talking about...


Anyway, a bat file simply executes a set of command line instructions - its just a script that doesnt need to be compiled... windows executes each line of command in a linear fashion

An exe is an actual program that has to be compiled.
