Do you mean that you want to pipe the output of one command to another? If so, you just separate the commands with a | character ( which is shift-\ on most keyboards).

type file.txt | more

That will take the output of the type command and pipe it into the more command.

If you just want to feed commands to the command line one at a time but type just one thing, then you need to write a batch file, which is just a text file that contains the commands that you want to run. dosemu comes with a batch file called autoexec.bat in the c:\ directory -- take a look at that for an example of how to write one.

Hi Frank,

I have java program that I want to execute batch from it. I want to set environment variable before I run the batch file. For example the 2 commands I want to run are:
1. set val=5
2. a.bat

Sample how it was in Unix:
[ishai@mip-devtest ishai]$ export val=7;a.bat
7
[ishai@mip-devtest ishai]$ cat a.bat
echo $val
[ishai@mip-devtest ishai]$

Thanks
Idan

1) Make the first line of a.bat read "set val=5" (without the quotes)

or

2) Make a second batch file that calls a.bat, as in this example:

set val=5
a

Save that as b.bat and run b.bat when you want to run the program.

Hi Frank,

Thanks for your answer.

If I understand your suggestion is to create at runtine the batch file as I don't know what the value if I will need to set for val.

Isn't a way in dos to run 2 commands or more in same line as in Unix for example ?

Thanks
Idan
