[thelist] Apache: Batch file with input?

[Andrew Seguin]

Well, I don't usually try such with batch (I am used to working from
command line, so I personally prefer a single line and then run)...

I don't have any experience at all at getting user input during
execution... (I don't think there is any simple thing like "%var% =
getUserInput") but I did find this site that seems to give an interesting
way to grab user input... unfortunately I don't have time to study how it
works, but here's the link... maybe you can get it to work for your needs:

good luck,
Andrew

Note: DOS Batch is the same principle as *nix shell scripting, but the DOS
shell is much much weaker then a *nix shell and supports much less.
