通过使用CALL, EXIT /B, SETLOCAL和ENDLOCAL可以实现带有局部变量的子例程。

例子:

@echo off

set x=xxxxx
call :sub 10
echo %x%
exit /b

:sub
setlocal
set /a x=%1 + 1
echo %x%
endlocal
exit /b

这将打印

11
xxxxx

尽管:sub修改了x。

PUSHD path

将您带到path指定的目录。

POPD

带您回到您“推”的目录。

There is also the EDLIN command. While it may be an old bastard tool once used for line-based text editing, the fact that it's controllable from the command line makes it rather useful for batch scripting, mostly because, just like any other case you'd be using EDLIN, it's the only tool available. After all, EDLIN is not a tool you would ordinarily want to use for text editing, unless you are somewhat masochistic. To quote Tim Patterson (the fellow who wrote it): "I was aghast when I heard that IBM was using it and not throwing it out the window."

注意:EDLIN将老式的EOF (1A)标记添加到它编辑的文件中。如果需要删除它们，可能必须使用DEBUG。

狡猾的等待N秒的技巧(不是cmd.exe的一部分，但不是额外的软件，因为它是Windows自带的)，参见ping行。您需要N+1个ping，因为第一个ping没有延迟。

    echo %time%
    call :waitfor 5
    echo %time%
    goto :eof
:waitfor
    setlocal
    set /a "t = %1 + 1"
    >nul ping 127.0.0.1 -n %t%
    endlocal
    goto :eof

子例程(输出42):

    @echo off
    call :answer 42
    goto :eof
:do_something
    echo %1
    goto :eof

子例程返回一个值(输出0、1、2，等等):

    @echo off
    setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion
    call :seq_init seq1
:loop1
    if not %seq1%== 10 (
        call :seq_next seq1
        echo !seq1!
        goto :loop1
    )
    endlocal
    goto :eof

:seq_init
    set /a "%1 = -1"
    goto :eof
:seq_next
    set /a "seq_next_tmp1 = %1"
    set /a "%1 = %seq_next_tmp1% + 1"
    set seq_next_tmp1=
    goto :eof

一行中包含多个命令，在很多情况下都很有用:

&用于组合两个命令，执行command1和command2 &&一个条件组合，如果command1成功完成，则执行command2 仅当command1未成功完成时才执行Command2。

例子:

:: ** Edit the most recent .TXT file and exit, useful in a .CMD / .BAT **
FOR /F %%I IN ('DIR *.TXT /B /O:-N') DO NOTEPAD %%I & EXIT


:: ** If exist any .TXT file, display the list in NOTEPAD, if not it 
:: ** exits without any error (note the && and the 2> error redirection)
DIR *.TXT > TXT.LST 2> NUL && NOTEPAD TXT.LST
