- SLASH.COM
-
-
- The purpose of SLASH.COM is to allow the creator of a Batch File to format the
- visible comments displayed by the Batch File.
-
- The format of the SLASH command line is the same as that for QUERY and FUNKY:
-
- SLASH [ / [ C1 [ C2 ... ] ] / ] [ string ]
-
- The behavior of the SLASH command execution is the same as for QUERY and FUNKY,
- except that SLASH executes the "slash" formatting commands and displays the
- string only. No reverse video box is displayed, no keystroke is read, and no
- errorlevel code is returned.
-
- The examples shown in the preceding QUERY explanation apply to SLASH as well
- (except no response keystroke is needed).
-
- We use SLASH extensively in all of the tutorial Batch Files. But we've been
- avoiding it in displayed examples until now. We'll start using it in
- subsequent examples. Also, printed listings of these tutorial files serve as
- further examples.
