command?

[Franky]

Hey,

Is there a command that enables a user, while a batch file is running to enter a file name so the batch file can process it?

Depends on your OS. This works on some machines:

Code: [Select]

set /p fname=Enter file name:

You will be prompted with "Enter file name:"

%fname% will take on the value you type in. You can use it anywhere in your batch file where appropriate.

Hope this helps.  8-)
