I was given a challenge by a friend to make a Batch File Notepad. However, the one i've made isn't working. I've set it up so that it will save each line as a separate text file, the i hope to join them at the end. Can someone look at it and diagnose the problem? ======================================= :startup @echo off :main cls @echo off Echo Hello, welcome to my Batch Notepad ECHO.

This seems like an awfully convoluted way to do this (untested): @ECHO OFF SET name="%~1" IF NOT %name%=="" GOTO skip SET /P name=File name/path? :skip ECHO Type whatever, end w/ F6 COPY CON %name%
