Prompt for Variable in Batch File

Comment:

Hi, I have a batch file that runs a command with parameters. The batch file contains just one line - EG: program.exe -uUsername -pPassword -cConnection I would like to have the user prompted to enter thier username and passoword when they run the batch file, rather than have a USername & PAssword hard-coded in the batch file. How can I do this? Thanks for your help! Lee
