Spawinng Two Logs in 2 instances of notepad??

[gdotoli]

I need to launch these 2 windows in parallel. So side by side the logs can
be viewed. The command sheel seems to spawn one and then the other when it is closed.

Thanks,




I have a cmd script that searches 2 log files and then writes the
output to disk.
How do I launch 2 notepad sessions, one for each file within the
script.
Is this possible with the Windows cmd shell?

The only viewer I know of is Notepad, if anyone knows of a better
simple windows viewer please let me know.

Thanks,
