Editing Cmd.exe (section)

===Command separator===
Multiple commands can be included in a single line using the command separator {{code|&}} or {{code|&&}}.<ref name="docs.microsoft.com">{{Cite web|url=https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/cmd|title=cmd|website=Microsoft Learn |date=September 12, 2023 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231121065635/https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/cmd |archive-date=November 21, 2023}}</ref> 

With the {{code|&}} separator, a subsequent command is executed even if the previous command indicates an error.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Command Redirection, Pipes - Windows CMD - SS64.com|url=https://ss64.com/nt/syntax-redirection.html|access-date=2021-09-23|website=ss64.com}}</ref> In the following example, each of the three commands is executed, one after the other, and regardless of their result code.

<syntaxhighlight lang="doscon">
>CommandA & CommandB & CommandC
</syntaxhighlight>

With the {{code|&&}} separator, a command must complete successfully for the subsequent command to execute. In the following example, {{code|CommandB}} only executes if {{code|CommandA}} completes successfully, and {{code|CommandC}} only executes if {{code|CommandB}} also completes successfully. 

<syntaxhighlight lang="doscon">
>CommandA && CommandB && CommandC
</syntaxhighlight>
