hello all

I don't know where to begin with this... I'd like to have a BATCH asking the user to input data (text), then this data would LATER be used as a parameter for a java file...

Here's my thoughts:
Code: [Select]echo off
path=d:\AUXID\
echo input the CipherValue
echo.
pause
set input=
set /p input=%1
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre8\bin\java.exe" -jar SeedDecrypt.jar Ciphervalue %1 hex-key 1FF7738D8A8C5040DC68B9CB4E8DE2A2 >>d:\AUXID\SeedDecrypt.txt
echo see file d:\AUXID\SeedDecrypt.txt for infos.
echo.
pause
exit

My questions are :
1. is my %1 input correct
2. dough I got a java error
Code: [Select]Exception in thread "main" org.apache.commons.codec.DecoderException: Odd NUMBER of characters.
at org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Hex.decodeHex(Hex.java:82)
at DecryptionText.main(DecryptionText.java:28)
My SeedDecrypt.txt file has a size of 0KB each time.

can someone help me on this%1 would be a command line argument.
Meaning you would start the batch file from the command prompt like this.
Code: [Select]C:\mybatchfile.bat sometext
If you want to ask for input you are partially doing it correctly by USING the SET /P but you never use the INPUT variable in your JAVA command.
Code: [Select]Set /P input=input the CipherValue:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre8\bin\java.exe" -jar SeedDecrypt.jar Ciphervalue %input% hex-key 1FF7738D8A8C5040DC68B9CB4E8DE2A2 >>d:\AUXID\SeedDecrypt.txt Quote from: metal_man77 on November 05, 2014, 01:47:24 PM

Code: [Select]echo off
path=d:\AUXID\

Additionally, the path variable is a system variable and shouldn't be used as a general purpose variable name,
and when you are adding a folder to the path then you can use something like this Code: [Select]set "path=%path%;c:\new\folder" Quote from: foxidrive on November 06, 2014, 04:15:06 AM

echo see file d:\AUXID\SeedDecrypt.txt for infos.
echo.
pause
exit

I still have the Java error, but I GUESS it's because I input random $hit.
