Solve : Batch file logger??

1.	Solve : Batch file logger??
Answer» Could someone show me a simple 'batch keylogger'? I know it's not a real dangerous keylogger, i just WANT anything that you type in the batch screen be logged into a txt file or something like that. Just wondering if it could work. Thanks I would also like to know if this is possible, can a batch file gather keyboard input without typing in the window?

Thanks You probably could if batch code was a programming language. But it's not, so you can't. You might try one of the Windows script languages, but you'll need access to the Windows API (use a class wrapper). A full service programming language could definitely be USED. Even .Net Framework classes might have something you could use in Powershell or the other .Net languages. Lots of options limited only by your imagination and skill SET.
