Cmd, for user input
I just learned to create batch files that will do some
processes that I create automatically. Is there any way I can give these things intelligence. I have read that "CHOICE" used to be the way I could get user input into a batch file. Does XP have this capability for CMD? If so can I also put that entry into a variable? Thanks, Rich |
