Batch Programs Thread.

But you cant use set /p with the type command.

Oh, that's what you're doing.

If you mean by editing the file with the Type command, then no that doesn't work
Type only displays file content.

this isn't a help post, its where you post batch programs you've made if you want to share them.

please make another thread

Start a new topic. This is for posting batch files, not to ask questions.

i wrote this batch file
its alittle buggie but its fairly neat
it helps you find files
here it is:

Code:

:BEGIN
echo off
cls
set /P direct="What drive and directory would you like to explorer?[DRIVE:\DIR] "
cd /D %direct%>nul
if %errorlevel% equ 1 echo Drive or directory doesnt exist & exit
:START
cls
echo type CHGD to goto a diffrent drive and/or directory
set /P FM="type in the first letter of the filename, ^ to quit "
if %FM% equ ^ goto END
if %FM% equ CHGD goto RAW
:FNF
cls
dir /B %FM%???????.* | more
echo Type filename as seen above or 'BACKSTART' to choose another letter
set /P FM="type ^ to quit "
if %FM% equ BACKSTART goto START
if %FM% equ ^ goto END
if not exist %FM% echo FILE NOT FOUND & PAUSE & goto BEGIN
%FM%
goto START
:RAW
goto BEGIN
:END
