Welcome banner

[asdasfas]

Let's say I have a .TXT file, with 20 welcome messages, and when I start my computer, i want that a  .BAT file , can take a message from that TXT file (let's say i want that .BAT file take that message from  the .TXT after 1 minut) , and put it in a CMD, give an "Enter" , and after that the CMD will close it himself .
Can anybody help me pls ?

I hope that I explain well.
Thanks all !!!

I think I understand what you mean.

As far as I'm aware you can only take the top line of a txt file in to a batch file as a varible, so can be used elsewhere.

Can you give an example of what the txt file will hold??

i think also at this, and i do not know if he can take me from the TXT file for example...
Heloo User
but i think he can take me if i use
Hello_User

It`s OK also if the .BAT file can take only the first line, i will make let`s say, 20 .TXT file and the .BAT file chose one from this 20 .TXT files.
1.txt   Hello And Have A Nice Day
2.txt What A Beautiful Day Is Today

Like a /usr/games/fortune in Linux

If I understand right, you want a batch file that can print out a random line from a file?  If so, you should be able to create a file called "banner.txt" with your 20 lines, and use the following code:

Code: [Select]

@echo off
setlocal
set file=banner.txt
for /f %%a in ('find /v /c "" ^< %file%') do set lines=%%a
set /a line=%random%%%lines
for /f "skip=%line% delims=" %%a in (%file%) do echo %%a&exit /b

i make a little .EXE that can do DNS and WHOIS in cmd

lecce, you should start your own thread for this, and not ask your question at the end of somebody elses.
