Activate conda environment from batch file

I've installed Anaconda 1.9.12 and everything works fine for designing python scripts and executing them. Now that I have my code ready, I want to allow for an external program to call python myCode.py myInputFile.dat but this fails to activate the environment and my import commands fail. I can activate the environment manually by using the Activate.bat file the Anaconda provides but when I put this into a batch file, the command prompt exists after I called Activate.bat and never gets to python.exe

Here is my batch file

"C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\condabin\activate.bat"

C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\python.exe myCode.py myInputFile.dat

The first line runs and then the command window closes before it gets to the next line. I really want this thing to run automatically without me having to open a command window, activate the environment and then call the python routine.

Is there a way to do this?

Not sure where the conda.exe is on Windows, but one can use conda.exe run to execute commands within environments without having to activate them in a shell session. For example, you should be able to do something like

C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Scripts\conda.exe run -n base python myCode.py myInputFile.dat

If you require interactivity, you’ll also need either (or both) the flags --live-stream or --no-capture-output.
