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 inside the batch file. I can’t use a goto, because depending on the errorlevel created by those 5 lines I have different actions that follow. I tried putting my 5 lines inside a batch file 5lines.bat, but the original batch file original.bat only calls 5lines.bat and doesn’t execute the commands after the call to 5lines.bat ): That’s how my original.bat looks like:

5lines.bat
echo this gets never called, how to make sure this gets called?

There’s no exit or something like this in 5lines.bat! How can I make sure the line after 5lines.bat gets called?

    Placing the reusable functions into a separate batch file would certainly work to simulate a function.

    The catch is that you have to use the call command in order to ensure that control returns to the caller after the second batch file finishes executing.

    call 5lines.bat
echo this will now get called
