Looking for a .bat native solution so we don't create dependencies on other applications.

Most MinGW Windows developers use msys and bash. Batch (.bat) doesn't offer the functionality of a bash shell. I'm writing a cross-platform build tool and I'm using bash (even on DOS). There's a native build of bash called winbash ( http://win-bash.sourceforge.net/ ). I've built it from source. Swiss also includes a bash-like shell program ( https://github.com/minoca/swiss ) and is a lot like Busybox. It builds easily on Windows. There's also a port of Busybox to Win32. If you want something that's not dependent on a program you need to build or install, you can look into using JavaScript. An interpreter comes with Windows and it offers more functionality than bat files. There's a series of good articles on using JScript as a batch scripting language ( https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/garretts/2009/05/15/using-jscript-as-a-batch-scripting-language-part-ii/ ).
