We rarely see file .cmd, but when opening it, we see that its content is very close to a .bat.

  • What is the reason for this similarity ?
  • What would be the main differences between them ?

The only difference between .cmd and .bat, is that in the .cmd the variable ERRORLEVEL also in the case of successful commands affected by command extensions when activated (PATH/APPEND/PROMPT/SET/ASSOC).

Already in the .bat the variable ERRORLEVEL will only change in case of an error.
