is there any way that you can mke a bat file start like 5 .exe's
for example, if i had an inifite loop of exe's opening i would use

| for /f "eol=; tokens=1" %%a in (numberoftimes.txt) do testprogram.exe %%a |
this would run testprogram.exe with the first token in numberoftimes.txt as a paramater, but if i changed it to
| CODE |
| for /f "eol=; tokens=1" %%a in (numberoftimes.txt) do ( start testprogram.exe %%a ) |
im asumming that this will constantly start testprogram.exe over and over again
so my question is, is there a way that you can set it so that it only opens 5 testprograms.exe at a time or something
thx in advance

| THE FOR LOOP The syntax of the FOR LOOP is: FOR %%PARAMETER IN(set) DO command Most people change their mind about learning Batch Programming when they come across the syntax of the For Command. I do agree that it does seem a bit weird, but it is not as difficult as it appears to be. Let's analyze the various parts of the For command. Before we do that look at the following example, @ECHO OFF CLS FOR %%A IN (abc, def, xyz) DO ECHO %%A Basically a FOR LOOP declares a variable (%%A) and assigns it different values as it goes through the predefined set of values(abc, def, xyz) and each time the variable is assigned a new value, the FOR loop performs a command.(ECHO %%A) The %%A is the variable which is assigned different values as the loop goes through the predefined set of values in the brackets. You can use any single letter character after the two % sign except 0 through 9.We use two %'s as DOS deletes each occurrence of a single % sign in a batch file program. The IN(abc, def, xyz) is the list through which the FOR loop goes. The variable %%a is assigned the various values within the brackets, as the loop moves. The items in the set(The technical term for the set of values within the brackets) can be separated with commas, colons or simply spaces. For each item in the set(The IN Thing) the FOR loop performs whatever command is given after the DO keyword.(In this example the loop will ECHO %%A) So basically when we execute the above batch file, the output will be: abc def xyz The FOR loop becomes very powerful if used along with replaceable parameters. Take the following batch file, for example, @ECHO OFF ECHO. ECHO I am going to delete the following files: ECHO %1 %2 ECHO. ECHO Press Ctrl+C to Abort process PAUSE FOR %%a IN (%1 %2 ) DO DEL %%a ECHO Killed Files. Mission Accomplished. At execution time, the process would be something like: C:\WINDOWS>batchfilename *.tmp *.bak I am going to delete the following files: *.tmp *.bak Press Ctrl+C to Abort process Press any key to continue . . . |

cause i want to read from a txt file and input the txt that is read from the txt file into the testprogram.exe as a parameter, but i want to read a new line for each instance of testprogram.exe
for example, if testprogram just took the paramater and then redisplayed it, i want each different instance of testprogram.exe to show differernt strings that were read from the txt file, thx for the reply coder, getting late right now, but will read that, hopefully it will help
