Solve : command prompt help?

Answer»

Hi...

I want to run a multistep process on command line but without user's input. I want this input to come from a batch file. How can i do that? I am trying to automate this process




ex:
c:\>Hello how are you?
user: fine ----------------------->-----------
write a number | ------> to come from batch file sequentially
user : 4 --------------------->-----------

I want command line to take input from batch file


thanks
Not sure I understand your question.

Do you have anything to show us?What i simply want is -- User shouldnot enter anything from standard input and the input should come automatically to the command prompt.So you want to MAKE a batch file, right?

Something like this?

Code: [Select]echo How are you?
echo Fine
pause
or do you want the batch file to interact with another CMD Window?Code: [Select]echo.Hello how are you?
set /p answ=
echo.user: %answ%

echo.write a number
set /p answ=
echo.user : %answ%
set /p allow user to input text and save it to variableQuote from: devcom on August 13, 2008, 03:21:43 AM

Yeah but he said he didn't want the user to input anything Thanks for the prompt replies...


You are right Carbon Dudeoxide --->

I think I am starting to get a vague idea of what you want.....

So you start a batch file, it will ask 'How Are You?' and you want it to automatically reply and say 'fine'?

Lol, is it just me or is anyone else getting confused? Actualy i m implenting a code from java which EXECUTES on command prompt but cmd prompt hangs and waits for an answer.. i want this answer to automatically reach cmd prompt..... any way HW can i do that....Anything you can show us or give an example?jsut an example for what i mean.....

In Java :

Process p = runtime.exec("cmd /c start xcopy c:\abc.txt c:\bin /m);


at cmd prompt:

c:\>xcopy c:\abc.txt c:\bin /m
Does C:\bin specify a file name
or DIRECTORY name on the target
(F = file, D = directory)? _


--- here cmd prompt expects an input which I want to come automatically
