Windows Batch File Question

[dmw16]

I am trying to help a guy at work write a basic batch file.

I want to be able to have the batch start an executable and then pass that running executable a series of inputs (that will be predefined in the batch file).

An example would be something like this...

run example.batch

example.batch would start example.exe

(running example.exe)

please enter your name: <NAME GOES HERE BEING PASSED FROM BATCH FILE>
please enter your age: <AGE GOES HERE BEING PASSED FROM BATCH FILE>

the inputs will actually be long directory listings and stuff, but you should get the idea.

Thanks.

example.bat would contain:
example.exe < inputs.txt
