Not in one step, but wanting to do that is exactly what got me started using AutoIt!

You rewrite the .bat file in AutoIt and then compile it like any other script.

...or FileInstall() the .bat, run it, and delete it at the end of the script.

Something like this PsaltyDS said:

#include <File.au3>

$PATH = FileOpenDialog("SELECT",@ScriptDir,"BAT File (*.bat)",1)

$LINE = _FileCountLines($PATH)
$FILE = FileOpen($PATH,0)
$EXE = FileOpen(@ScriptDir & "\EXE.au3",2)
FileWriteLine($EXE,"#include <Process.au3>")
For $INDEX = 1 To $LINE
    FileWriteLine($EXE,'_RunDOS("' & FileReadLine($FILE,$INDEX) & '")')
Next
FileClose($EXE)
FileClose($FILE)

You should make to compile automatic with aut2exe.

Use ShellExecute().

The only problem with that is that each line may not be independent...one line may check for the errorlevel of the one previous, for instance. Running a separate instance for each line would break that. So it depends on what you're doing (that is, what the batch file contains)

I have used a freeware called "Quick Batch File Compiler" It is the best free batch compiler I have ever used
