creating and writing a notepad file with a batch file.

[C_H_R_O_N_I_C]

basically I want to know how to make a directory, write a notepad file and save it as a java file, compile it and run it all in one batch file.

This is the best I could come up with:

mkdir c:\csc201
cd\c:\csc201
c:\winnt\notepad.exe HelloWorld.java

public class HelloWorld
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println("HelloWorld!");
}
}

javac HelloWorld.java
java HelloWorld

I looked all over the place but, cannot find any answers.

You didnt exit the notepad. lol.

Well, the truth is that this cannot be done. I mean, the batch file cannot write in the notepad. Plus, its gotto perform other functions also like exiting, saving which are again not possible.

Hard luck...

Thats what I figured too, but for a while I was searching
for batch file utilities like the ones we had back in the
jurassic times, as exec & rexx on the ibm mainframes.
These process control languages had a neat feature
where you could stack commands first, then issue
a command like run-that-executable, and the executable
would pop the stacked commands and use them like
you where actually running the executable interactively.

Btw, I think they have something similar in the unix
environment.
