Hey .. .i've been wondering is there anyway to make a .bat file to run programs on a usb?.. so that it will either ask you to input a name to run the software.. or it will give u a list to chose from.?..

echo off setlocal enabledelayedexpansion set pathN=c pushd %pathn%:\ ::above, unit letter set /a ct=0 for %%a in (%pathn%:\*.exe,%pathn%:\*.com, %pathn%:\*.bat,%pathn%:\*.cmd) do ( echo %%~nxa ) echo. set /p ThisApp=Launch application (name): "%ThisApp%" popd --------------------- I need help too. The above code works but I fail in attribute a NUMBER for each output of FOR command in order to launch application by typing its number, not its name. I do like this: set /a ct=0 for %%a in (*.exe, *.com) do ( set /a ct=!ct!+1 echo !ct! - %%a set comm!ct!="%%a" ) set /p number=Run this application (number): set ThisApp=comm%number% %ThisApp% I cant get ThisApp variable expressing its real content. It always reply with its literal value (comm1, comm2..). Can anybody help me.
