I am trying to make a batch file that when clicked will create a blank batch file and let you type in the name then it will automatically save it as a .bat file I am only skilled enough to do the following whick just lets you drag a txt document onto to it then name it and it pops out as a batch file @echo off cls set /p var=File name:%var% cls RENAME %1 "%var%.bat" Fuzzymango209

The batch below should do it, it will automatically append a .bat file extension if you don't add .bat or .cmd to the end of your filename. @ECHO OFF :INPUT CLS SET /P FLNM=PLEASE INPUT A FILE NAME FOR YOUR NEW BATCH FILE. /Q EXITS. IF NOT DEFINED FLNM GOTO INPUT IF /I "%FLNM%"=="/Q" GOTO :EOF IF /I NOT "%FLNM:~-4%"==".BAT" IF /I NOT "%FLNM:~-4%"==".CMD" SET FLNM=%FLNM%.BAT IF NOT EXIST "%FLNM%" (COPY NUL "%FLNM%") ELSE ECHO "%FLNM%" ALREADY EXISTS IN THIS DIRECTORY.&&PAUSE&&GOTO INPUT START NOTEPAD "%FLNM%" Here's the one I personally use(except for notepad), I don't like to prompted for a file name: @ECHO OFF IF NOT EXIST NEW.BAT GOTO MKR SET COUNT=2 :NWE IF EXIST NEW%COUNT%.BAT SET /A COUNT+=1&&GOTO NWE :MKR ECHO @ECHO OFF>NEW%COUNT%.BAT START NOTEPAD NEW%COUNT%.BAT It may not be the most elegant solution but it does the job just fine....

I got tired of renaming or saving txt files at batch scripts so i whipped this up. @echo off echo Enter name of batch file set /p name= echo Enter location to save file set /p location= echo @echo off > %location%\%name%.bat This will ask for the name then a location. So typing in Hey for the name and h:\ for location will create H:\Hey.bat
