Run multiple CLI commands from a single batch or CSV file or text file

This article explains how to run multiple CLI commands from a single batch or CSV file or text file.

Run multiple CLI commands from a single batch file

Prefix each CLI command with 'cmd /c' as shown in the sample below:

cmd /c D:\atlassian-cli-8.7.0\jira.bat --action getServerInfo
cmd /c D:\atlassian-cli-8.7.0\jira.bat --action addComment  --issue "YUS-1"  --comment "my comment"

Run the batch file from CLI.
```
D:\atlassian-cli-8.7.0>new.bat
```

Result

Without the 'cmd /c' prefix, only the first command is run in the batch file omitting all the commands that follow.

Run multiple CLI commands from a CSV file

Save the CSV file with the '--action' commands as displayed in the sample below:

--action getServerInfo
--action addComment --issue "SUP-22" --comment "my comment"
--action updateIssue --issue "SUP-21" --reporter "user10"

Run the CSV file as:
```
--action run --file "text.csv"
```

Result

Run multiple CLI commands from a text file

Save the text file with the '--action' commands as displayed in the sample below:

--action getServerInfo
--action assignIssue --issue "TEST-8"  --userId "user10"
--action cloneIssue --issue "TSST-11" --description "clone description"

Run the text file as:
```
--action run --file "text.txt"
```

Result
