Tutorials on... MS-DOS?
A problem that has been haunting me more and more. My computer appeared in 2006, and, of course, I don’t really know what a Windows console is. Well, just what the university says - cd, dir, running executable files, and that's it.
In this case, very often the task arises to stir up some batch bat file that will pick up and run the necessary executable files, do it all in a loop, substitute parameters, and so on.
There is documentation on the Windows console on the Internet, but studying everything from the manual is almost unrealistic.
Therefore, the question is - are there any sensible lessons somewhere with examples of writing scripts for cmd.exe in order to quickly get to the heart of the matter?

Look for old tutorials by Levin (easier) and Figurnov (harder). It's all there.
You don't have to learn anything. And I'm telling you this as a person who knows DOS well.
You just need to google for a specific task. For example, do you need to batch rename files? Please google "bat to batch rename files", the first two links are effective.
By the way, all the same tasks are much easier and more flexible to implement through vbscript.
Accordingly, the search string is almost the same - "vbs to batch rename files".
Everything that is often repeated, with this approach, you will learn automatically, modifying the copy-paste file to suit your specific needs.
