What is the difference between Batch and Bash files?

Question

What are the differences between Batch and Bash?

How are they being used?

Answer 1

"Batch File" is terminology normally used for a text file containing a sequence of MSDOS shell commands. Bash is a unix shell, and normally the equivalent term for unix to "Batch File" is "Shell Script", or simply "Script".

I've never heard the term "Bash file", though it makes some logical sense, usually "Shell Script" or "Bash Script" is used instead.
