OK, need some help about programing. I am making a program in .bat
Is there any way to compile .bat to .exe and .run(for linux)

bat is script(file with windows console commands)
exe is compiled executable code

Lanac, please tell us exactly what are you trying to do. What you are asking us is impossible.

No, if you want to compile it, you will need C++.

Imagine there is a road. You can drive there on a car, on a bike, on a plane, on other stuff too.
Now, C++ is a car. VisualBasic is a bike. Java is a plane.
Batch files are papers with instructions like: "Sit in the car, drive 100 meters, then take a plane and fly 2km".
Is that more clear now?

VisualBasic has nothing common with C++ but the fact they both can be compiled to bytecode.
If you need VisualBasic application - google for "linux visualbasic compiler" and cross your fingers for better results.

you want vb .exe, this exe will execute bat-script(shell script), and script will execute commands

use vb function shell for executing .bat

but on linux(bsd, mac, unix, etc.) we have other console - bash(and some other shells), you need to convert dos/windows shell commands into bash commands, then save this commands into .sh file.

now about languages: use multi-platform languages if want got same results (of your programs) on different os

pmd, I think you misunderstood his request a bit. He wants to make an 'exe' for linux that does the same thing as his bat file does: printing the text out and launching other applications.

pmd · #15 Post by **pmd** » Thu Feb 17, 2011 4:57 pm

so he just need shell script?
