file .bat for mac

Hi, I need to convert a. Bat file to mac to start a portable application from usb stick.
This is the code to convert::
start \VLCPortable\VLCPortable.exe /VIDEO_TS\VIDEO_TS.IFO
The question is: how to convert the code and how should I call the file?
Obviously, then I'll replace the file VLCPortable.exe with a portable for Mac
Thanks

What you need is a shell script. However, note that a shell script will not run when you insert the usb stick, you have to run it manually.
Start here: LinuxCommand.org: Learn the Linux command line. Write shell scripts..
That should get you started.

thanks

Thanks for the answer, but I'm not so good in programming, can you help me translating:
start \VLCPortable\VLCPortable.exe /VIDEO_TS\VIDEO_TS.IFO
in a shell script
Thank you...

That should do the trick. Save it with the extension "sh" and you should be good to go.

That will work if the VLC app bundle is in the same directory as the shell script.

Thanks

Thank you, you solved my problem
Thanks again
