any shell script 2 batch file tools?

rosbur · 09-17-2004, 06:40 AM

I wonder if there is any software or tools that can convert syntax of bash shell script to windows batch files. I have a shell script and I need to "translate" it into batch file to be able to run under windows nt. Does anyone know any software that can perform such task? I found some that can convert batch file to shell script but not vice versa. Thanks in advance.

This kind of transformation can only go one way, because unix shell scripts are way more powerfull than dos batch files.

The best answer to your need IMO, is to install Cygwin on the windows PC.

No, theYinYeti didn't mean that. Cygwin is a software that allows you to run some (or most) Linux commands on Windows.
So, it cannot convert bash script to Dos scripts, but Cygwin should allow you to run your bash scripts on your Windows machine directly (without conversion).

You can find Cygwin at http://www.cygwin.com, where you can download it for free.

Cygwin does indeed convert shell to batch, problem is it doesn't output a bat file, it executes the shell script.

@Linux_Kidd: in my book, "conversion" means that you go from one format (Shell/Bash) to the other (DOS/batch).
That's why I said that Cygwin only "runs" shell/bash scripts, rather than converting them to DOS .bat's.

You could always use the following sites as a guidelines for the UNIX / DOS commands equivalents.

It`s more or less a tutorial site for creating Shell Scripts from DOS Batch Files, but on the
site`s Table Of Contents page it has a link to the page showing the conversions on

No, if you read the thread you'll note there's no such thing that we know of.

Secondly, we don't do private consulting. If there's a solution we will post it here so everyone can benefit from it.

Third, you are inviting the smapbots to effectively spam your mail account by showing your mail address here, so good luck with that.
