Create command line with echo off

To create a command line batch script with echo off in Windows, you can follow these steps:

1. Open a Text Editor:
   Open a text editor such as Notepad on your Windows system.

2. Write the Script:
   Write your batch script commands in the text editor. To turn off echoing of commands, you can use the @echo off command at the beginning of the script.

   Here's an example of a simple batch script:

   batchCopy code
   @echo off
   
   echo This is a batch script with echoing turned off.
   
   echo You won't see the commands being printed.
   
   

3. Save the File:
   Save the file with a .bat extension. Choose a meaningful name, such as myscript.bat.

4. Run the Batch Script:
   Open the command prompt and navigate to the location where you saved the batch script. Then, simply type the name of the script (without the .bat extension) and press Enter.

For example, if you saved the script as myscript.bat, you would run it by typing:

bashCopy code
myscript

The @echo off command at the beginning of the script prevents the commands themselves from being displayed in the command prompt window when the script is executed. However, any output generated by commands (such as echo statements) will still be displayed. If you want to suppress all output, you can redirect the output to NUL:

batchCopy code
@echo off

echo This output will not be visible.

echo This output will also not be visible. > NUL

Remember that echo off affects only the script's echoing behavior and doesn't prevent the actual execution of the commands.
