@echo off

goto a

This barely counts as a loop. Ive been searching to do a loop for like 3 hours. and all i found was this GOTO shit. Bull GOTO only redirects you to a certain point. Whether it be up from its command colom or down. Looping is reperforming a series of commands a certain number of times. this only does it once. or does it until program shutdown. Depends on program value settings.

true it's not a programmed loop but since it loops i called it a loop, easier for people to search for it to. It works, that is what is important

if you add this:

set /a "i=%i%+1"

if %i%=[a number of times to run the loop] goto [somewhere else]

you get something that works like a do, while loop in c++ if that is what you want.

@sparkytycoon same

[SnuppyProductions]

tha one sucked. ive made better loops

[toimelin]

So what is it really that sucks about it?

It does what it was made to do, simple as that.

I wouldn't call a loop bad or good, a loop is a loop.

you forgot the pause

@echo off

:loop

start notepad.exe

pause

goto loop

[toimelin]

No i didn't, it was not needed for the batch file i was doing

[iDrinQ]

If you use "pause" you'll have to press enter everytime for it to run, which takes the edge of the script. Great tutorial toimelin!

I am with that dude. Short, sweet, and to the point.  Thanks for not polluting youtube with CRAP!
