How to call one batch file after another

I have a batch file coordinating the activity of two other batch file. How can I make it execute the second batch file only after the first bat file finishes execution (execute the sequentially). I do not care if the first batch file executes successfully or not.

Use call to continue the execution of the first file, like:

echo batch controller
call batch1.bat
call batch2.bat
echo batch controller running again

I don't think that's the question. There's a top-level batch file that's executing two secondary batch files sequentially.

@Jim ... it should work the way I posted ... where do you see the problem, here? I edited the example to use two batchfiles.

Yes, you're right that "call" needs to be used here.

They will execute sequentially naturally unless your first one is spawning processes without waiting. See START /WAIT for a way to start a process on the command line, but wait for it to finish before proceeding.
