How to run a command in an infinite loop in command prompt?

Question

In windows command prompt, I run a command like this

program.exe all

and it prints out stuff as it runs, then ends. How can I basically do this?

while (1) {
    program.exe all
}

but in a way that I can still see it print out the stuff, and I can stop it by just doing ctrl+c.

Thanks

@echo off
:while
(
   program.exe all
   goto :while
)

which is equal to while(true).

is that a .bat file? – omega Nov 08 '19 at 23:35
also doesn't echo off, surpress the text output from the program.exe? – omega Nov 08 '19 at 23:35
Yes, it is a bat file. And echo off (which should be @echo off) just turns off the print of the commands from the batch file (see: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/echo) – maio290 Nov 08 '19 at 23:38
