Batch Script - CALL another batch script to call line to perform certain command

Is it possible to create a batch file with a bunch of commands (commands.bat)

ECHO HELLO
ECHO HOLA
ECHO KONICHIWA
ECHO ANYONGHASEYO
ECHO BONJOUR

, then with开发者_JAVA百科in a different batch file, CALL commands.bat and only perform the command on line 2 or line 4 without knowing what is on those lines?

Here's what I meant in my comment.

master.bat

echo abcd
echo hello
echo notepad
echo public
echo wind
echo balance

command.bat

@echo off

more +3 master.bat > temp.bat & temp.bat

Prints the below for me.

public
wind
balance

To start off from the first line, use +0.

If you want this number to be sent via command line, here is a slightly modified version:

command.bat

@echo off

more +%1 master.bat > temp.bat & temp.bat

You can run the above with commands such as command.bat 0 or command.bat 3.

A neat little trick I used to know (back when batchfiles were in vogue)

SET JUMPTO=HOLA
goto BRANCH_%JUMPTO% 

:BRANCH_HELLO
echo HELLO
GOTO :QUIT

:BRANCH_HOLA
echo HOLA
GOTO :QUIT

:BRANCH_KONICHIWA
echo KONICHIWA
GOTO :QUIT

:BRANCH_ANYONGHASEYO
echo ANYONGHASEYO
GOTO :QUIT

:BRANCH_BONJOUR
echo BONJOUR
GOTO :QUIT

:BRANCH_
echo Illegal branch?!

:QUIT

It becomes more intesting when you replace the first line with e.g. SET JUMPTO=%1

Some test output:

E:>.\test.cmd HELLO

E:\>SET JUMPTO=HELLO

E:\>goto BRANCH_HELLO

E:\>echo HELLO
HELLO

E:\>GOTO :QUIT

E:>.\test.cmd

E:\>SET JUMPTO=

E:\>goto BRANCH_

E:\>echo Illegal branch?!
Illegal branch?!
E:\>

Give me your input on this as a solution. It works, but I know some people don't like piping the FIND command to anything =/

REM Contents of COMMANDS.BAT
ECHO HELLO & ::1
ECHO HOLA & ::2
ECHO KONICHIWA & ::3
ECHO ANYONGHASEYO & ::4
ECHO BONJOUR & ::5

REM Command to perform ECHO KONICHIWA out of COMMANDS.BAT
CALL C:\COMMANDS.BAT | FIND "3"

Better yet, I discovered this playing around with it yesterday:

REM Contents of COMMANDS.BAT
ECHO HELLO & ::1
ECHO HOLA & ::2
ECHO KONICHIWA & ::3
ECHO ANYONGHASEYO & ::4
ECHO BONJOUR & ::5

-

REM Command to perform ECHO KONICHIWA out of COMMANDS.BAT
FINDSTR ::3 COMMANDS.BAT | START /B

That way I don't have to output the line to another bat file, it just runs the command instantly.

This is similar to Mechaflash's answer but makes use of findstr instead of find.

master.bat

echo abcd &rem line1
echo hello &rem line2
echo notepad &rem line3
echo public &rem line4
echo wind &rem line5
echo balance &rem line5

command.bat

@echo off

findstr line%1 master.bat > temp.bat & temp.bat
