Batch File Prompts

Comment:
I am writing batch file that needs to respond to a generated prompt. For example, in my batch file I call
titerun -rp data.txt
Titerun requires the user to press any key to continue running. How can the batch file respond to the generated prompt.

titerun -rp data.txt <response
