How do I open another batch file multiple times?

Question

I'm wondering how I can open a batch file with another batch file multiple times I'm currently using this code

set counter=0
:loop
call Pinger.bat
SET /A counter=%counter%+1
if %counter% GTR 100
    (GOTO exit) 
else 
    (GOTO loop)
:exit
exit

But it just closes the bat file with this code as soon as the first one of the other one is opened..

@SLaks Which is what the accepted answer for that question uses, meaning it's a duplicate. malach's answer also applies to the case of user 3528008's question. — AStopher, Jun 13 '14 at 20:44
@zyboxinternational: Huh? He's already doing that, and it's still not working. — SLaks, Jun 13 '14 at 20:45
@SLaks They aren't doing what malach mentioned in his answer, unless I'm mistaken. — AStopher, Jun 13 '14 at 20:46
I have no idea why call isn't working.. It opens the Pinger file and then it stops, I've already looked at the link above and I couldn't find the answer.. — user3528008, Jun 13 '14 at 21:25
seems like `Pinger.bat` has an `exit` command. remove that and it should work. Or try `start /wait cmd /c call Pinger.bat` — Alex, Jun 13 '14 at 21:28
I don't see any exit command in the Pinger.bat file? color 02 ping -t -l 1500 — user3528008, Jun 13 '14 at 21:40
`for /L %%i in (1,1,100) do call Pinger.bat` or `for /L %%i in (1,1,100) do start Pinger.bat` — Aacini, Jun 13 '14 at 23:46

Your syntax is wrong on the if statement, see the fixed version below:

set counter=0
:loop
call Pinger.bat
SET /A counter=%counter%+1
if %counter% GTR 100 (
    GOTO exit 
) else (
    GOTO loop
)
:exit
exit

I didn't change anything, still the same thing – user3528008 Jun 13 '14 at 21:43
Pinger.bat never finishes with ping -t – foxidrive Jun 14 '14 at 05:25
