Android getevent and sendevent : How to execute recorded events from Windows command window?

I have recorded the events that are triggered when I play around with a UI on Android 4.4.2

This is the command I execute from a Windows command prompt:

adb shell getevent > capturedevents.txt

I then run the .txt file through a "parser" which produces a bat file : 

modifiedeventfile.bat

When I try to execute the bat file from a Windows command prompt nothing happens on the phone and if I run:

adb shell getevent > response.txt

while I'm executing the bat file, I only get this:

/dev/input/event1: 0003 0035 00000000
/dev/input/event1: 0003 0036 00000000
/dev/input/event1: 0003 0000 00000000
/dev/input/event1: 0003 0001 00000000
/dev/input/event1: 0000 0000 00000000

/dev/input/event1: 0003 0039 00000000
/dev/input/event1: 0000 0000 00000000

The response indicates that the phone is only responding to the first 2 "commands" (where a 'command' is terminated by 0 0 0)

What am I doing wrong?

I would like to be able to capture/record events on the phone and "play" them back by executing a bat file.

Here are some links to download the files I'm referring to:

Links are empty so I cannot verify your approach.

Do you send recorded events via adb? Ex. adb shell sendevent /dev/input/event1: 0003 0035 00000000 If not, change parser to add string adb shell sendevent in front of each line in capturedevents.txt and then send them via adb.

btw. Sometimes, you will need to add small delay via ping. Ex. ping 192.0.2.2 -n 1 -w 1000 > nul

EDIT:
