Comment:

I would like to capture keyboard input from a user and save it to particular line in an existing text file.
ie.
Batch may ask:
What is your name?
User via keyboard inputs:
JohnDoe (return/enter)
that input would then be saved to an existing file (mylog.txt) at particular line:
IP=123.567.234.321
DOMAIN=MYDOMAIN
COMPUTER=MYCOMPUTER
USERNAME=JohnDoe

Thanks in advance.

p.s. its very important that its ">>" and not just ">" because you will overwrite myfile.txt rather then add to it.
