    The very definition of a batch file, is that the computer has no interaction with the user. Batch files are just for commands that the computer executes one after the other.. no user input is required.

    You want a shell script, not a batch file.
    What shell are you using?

    Re: Batch File Input

    There are a few programs (ask.com, number.com, input.com) that can be called from a batch file and they return a numeric result which can be tested as an error code.
    The most difficult part of developing a program is understanding the problem.
    The second most difficult part is deciding how you're going to solve the problem.
    Actually writing the program (translating your solution into some computer language) is the easiest part.
    Please indent your code and use [HIGHLIGHT="VB"] [/HIGHLIGHT] tags around it to make it easier to read.
