Solve : Getting input from a user in a batch file? |
|
Answer» I'm writing a simple XCOPY batch file and I want the user to input a directory name. I've seen this done quite some time ago (pre Win 95) but just can't remember how it was done. The input would have to RESIDE in a variable within the program. I always used one of the many batch enhancers in the old bare DOS days. Nowadays, I use AutoIt http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/ for this kind of task. For a bunch of old-style DOS utilities, try http://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/ Many thanks, John. I think it was the ask utility that I had seen used before. I'll CHECK out the autoit tools too - I hadn't HEARD of this before. Paul. |
