Hide content of batch file

[Guest Robert]

Hello,

I'm looking for a solution or software which can help me to hide content of

running batch file. I've a batch file which include a path to another batch

file and some parameters (username, password, tcpip, ect). When I rn this

batch file all content is visible in ms-dos window - username, password, ect.

I'd like to hide those informations and not to allow everybody read it.

 

Please, advice me,

 

Regards,

Robert Pater

What exactly do you mean with "When I'm in this batch file"?

When you edit it? When you run it? If it is the latter then adding

@echo off

as a first line will solve your problem.

 

You write about an "MSDOS window". I suppose you're aware

that MSDOS was an operating system introduced by Microsoft

in about 1978, thirty years ago. It ain't no more. I suspect you

mean the Command Prompt under Windows XP/2000.

Hello,

Of course the Command Prompt.

When I run it.

As I said, "@echo off" will fix it.

Executing a file is equivalent to reading it. In other words, if you

can execute it then you can read it.

 

Here are a couple of options to conceal what you're doing:

- You could "compile" your batch files with on of the many

batch file compilers you can download from various sites.

- You can rewrite your batch file in C++ or in some other

language that generates an .exe file.
