Usage of batch processing

Separation

Each command is split with a carriage return instead of a semicolon.

Don't close the window after executing the command

Method 1. Use @cmd /k

cd /d D:\dev\

@cmd /k

Method 2. Use /B parameters

start /B 

Method 3: Use pause

start 
pause

Note: It is not recommended to use pause because it can only stop and cannot continuously obtain the output of the program.
