This batch file code can run multiple batch files from a single folder location or multiple folder locations. Suppose you have a bunch of batch files in ‘Source Folder‘ like below:

unzipfile.bat
runpython.bat
mergefile.bat

          And so on……

And Instead of running one by one, you want to run all batch files automatically.

Then follow the below steps:

Step 1: Create a new Batch File, Open Notepad in your system.

Step 2: Copy the below code in Notepad:

Now you can run the batch file and it will execute all the above files in the “Source Folder“.

This batch file will execute all mentioned batch files at the same time. 

 

Note:- If you want to edit a batch file, then right-click on it and select Edit or you can open the batch file in Notepad and after editing you can save it.
