Batch File Scripting

Anyone know how to obtain user input while executing a batch file? I dont want to do

the_name.cmd variable_name and then call %1

Ideas?
 
Command Line parameters.

program param1 param2

where program.bat is the program.

Another option may be some kind of ini file that the user creates with the options of a UI interface or system params

This has nothing to do with hardware as far as I can see.
 
Hi, Parameters, as already suggested, would work, but is very difficult for a newby user. You can get limited input using CHOICE. Only other way would be to call another program, stick the data into the invironmet and go back to the Batch File. Luck, Jim
 
Batch scripts aren't really designed for taking input after running, except for 'choice', which is limited as jim says. maybe you should use a better language - VB is pretty simple.
