Something like a function/method in batch files?

Question

is there anything that mimicks a method like one knows it from Java, C# etc.? I have 5 lines of commands in a batch file, those 5 lines are used at more than one place insid

Answer 1

Solution:

@ECHO OFF     

call:header Start Some Operation

... put your business logic here
... make sure EXIT below is present
... so you don't run into actual functions without the call

call:header Operation Finished Successfully

EXIT /B %ERRORLEVEL%

:: Functions

:header
ECHO ================================================= 
ECHO %*
ECHO ================================================= 
EXIT /B 0

Important to put EXIT /B at the end of each function, as well as before function definitions start, in my example this is:

EXIT /B %ERRORLEVEL%
