Executing multiple statements in the command prompt

Hello,

I would like to execute the following statements in the cmd prompt from Matlab.

1. First I would like to set the Visual Studio environment parameters. This I do with

 dos(['%comspec% /k "' VisualStudio '" x86 >']) ..where VisualStudio is the path to the vcvarsall.bat

2. Then I would like to execute in the same dos prompt above the command

 nmake /F makefile.nmake clean

3. Third step is

 nmake /F makefile.nmake all

My problem is that after the first dos statement, the statement 2 gives 'nmake' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I need to execute statements 2 and 3 in the same dos prompt. I tried writing a batch file but for some reason the batch file does not execute. After the statement 1 I get Microsoft VS environment set and the rest of the commands do not execute.

Could someone help me out.

Thanks a lot.

Regards

Deepak
