Recently we changed the names of our computers. Doing this made net send harder. I am trying to write a batch file that can be run from the Start->Run... menu item by typing: send mike here is the message where send is the name of the batch file mike is the name of the recipient here is the message is the message so far I have: @echo off goto top :top %1 if "%1%" == "mike" goto Mike if "%1%" == "ryan" goto Ryan if /I "%1%" == "end" goto end :Mike SET VAR=TEMPTEXT SET %VAR%=%2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 net send MW10074 %TEMPTEXT% goto end :Ryan SET VAR=TEMPTEXT SET /P %VAR%="Text to send: " net send MW10022 %TEMPTEXT% goto end :end Right now my max message length is 8 words as denoted by the %2 %3 etc. I'd like it to be as unlimited as net net send. (Ryan is just a second variable I used for this program, and from another program where you are prompted. version 1) Thank you!
