    Who (apart from my good self) still writes .bat files? Are they common or am I one of the old fogies that still employs his DOS knowledge?

      I have been known to write the odd .bat file, as well as PowerShell scripts.

          I write them. Need them for automation. Odd thing is we use PowerShell scripts to call them ;P

            Right: we young people just write a bunch of shell scripts or awk ones.

              Like Pete, I use some bat files, but power shell is the way to go.

                  Mostly when I write C programs for old 8 bit computers. The BAT then is a kind of simple makefile (another thing the youngsters usually don't know anything about) and also handles the deployment of the compiled program to the emulator(s).

                          Our team and myself as well write cmd files which should be about the same thing as bat files as far as I'm concerned. We use the stuff on our FAST servers to do operations automation. Cheers!

                                      I write the odd one now and agian, well cmd files anyway, I tend to use a few that I keep around more than writing me ones though - like moving large numbers of files around and renaming etc. Right tool for the right job, as my father used to say. Not sure I liked it that he called me a tool, but there you go.
