Can we directly execute a text file that contains all sql commands

Hi, friends,
We have our stored procedures (sp) saved in a .sql file, one for each. When
we want to create an sp, we open the corresponding .sql file using notepad o
r
sql query analyzer, and then execute it.
Do we have a way that we just need to pass those .sql files' name, including
full path, and run all those sp creation sql code in a batch, without
openning each .sql file one by one?
Thanks a lot for your help.Yes, use osql.
exec master..xp_cmdshell 'osql ...'
You can look up the syntax for osql in Books Online...
