I am attempting to loop over every file of a directory using Windows cmd ([Version 10.0.14393]), but I’m encountering a peculiar behavior. When I run the following script as a script, it gives me a syntax error. However, when I copy and paste the code from the script into the terminal, it runs as I would expect (printing the file name of every file in demo. How do I achieve the copy-paste behavior in the script?

Create and use bat files that set and use environment variables, but environment variables are null

However, since I don’t know much about batch language, I asked ChatGPT and with similar projects that I saw on this site, I tried to do it. The problem in general is when the user types the number and presses enter, the program closes immediately. This is my code:

I want a way of running and checking two of the same application.exe’s using two different bat scripts in case they crash, in order to do this, I need to check each one individually based on the path the .exe came from.
