Maybe a utility program would do what you need.

Check out:
http://short.stop.home.att.net/freesoft/batch1.htm
Look for : " INPUT — Get console input from within a batch file. " .

I HOPE that helps.



To get user input, use SET /P, eg

SET /P MyFileName=Which File ?

GrahamThanks for the replies, I am using a program called automate, does a LOT more than just batch files and is just what I need, but many thanks for the tips links and advice:
