You can invoke another batch script from a batch script like this:
rem a.bat echo helloa1 b.bat echo helloa2
rem b.bat echo hellob1 exit /b echo hellob2
Here, the batch script a.bat invokes another batch script b.bat. You may expect it displays “helloa1″,”hellob1″, and “hello a2″. But it only shows the first two. This is because when you run another script by directly using its name, the current script stops, and the execution flow never goes back to the current script again. This is probably not what you want. You may want the first script continues after the second script terminates. To do that, you need to run the second script from the first script using “call” as follows:
rem a.bat echo helloa1 call b.bat echo helloa2
Now, after b.bat exits(note that exit /b will not terminate the cmd.exe that executes the scripts), a.bat continues. See this post for a discussion.
