I save it as "linting.bat"
And it works fine without any problem.

I open command prompt and type this command linting.bat and then all the messages are displayed on command prompt.
But now i want to save all the messages in a file, the one method is using this command linting.bat > filename.txt

But the PC-Lint has an option for this, i just have to change my COMMAND macro to

set LOG="-os(log.txt)"
set COMMAND=%LINT_EXE% %LOG% %LINT_DIR% %PRJ_CFG%

---

So is there any method to interchange macro definition using command line option.
Means If
liniting.bat in command prompt then messages will get displayed to command prompt window
But if i type
linting.bat log then a log file also gets created.

Please suggest

there is a %1, %2 ....command parameter option for batch file.
read that and you can take diversion in your execution as you like.

@echo off
set LINT_EXE=C:\lint\lint-nt.exe
set LINT_DIR=-i"C:\lint\lnt"
set LINT_LOG="-os(logging.txt)"
set PRJ_CFG="C:\data\Projects\General\lint\LintConfig.lnt"
set PRJ_PATH=C:\data\Projects\General\src
 
If "%1"=="-l" goto LOG_COMMAND
goto COMMAND
 
:LOG_COMMAND
echo.
echo LOGGING ENABLED (LOG WILL BE CREATED IN FILE LOGGING.TXT)
set COMMAND=%LINT_EXE% %LINT_LOG% %LINT_DIR% %PRJ_CFG%
goto MAIN
 
:COMMAND
set COMMAND=%LINT_EXE% %LINT_DIR% %PRJ_CFG%
goto MAIN
 
:MAIN
CALL :Seperator
echo Starting PC-Lint
CALL :Seperator

Then using command linting.bat -l to log and rest to display the content on Command Window.
