Visustin generates flow charts from DOS and Windows Batch files (.bat and .cmd).
The support is current as of Windows 7, but MS-DOS .bat files are also supported. Windows supports a far richer Batch file syntax than MS-DOS did. Visustin fully supports the Windows enhancements.
Visustin supports the following Batch commands.
| Statement type | Command |
|---|---|
| Conditional statements | IF..ELSE |
| Iteration | FOR, FORFILES |
| Jump | GOTO |
| End script | EXIT |
| Line labels | :MyLine |
| Comments | REM Comment, :: Comment |
| Boolean logic | && || |
| Pipes | | |
Visustin is aware of command grouping, pipelines, redirection and the fact that Batch files use the DOS OEM character set.
Most other commands are handled as regular statements.
