I would like to create a batch file for NET SEND so that it can prompt the user for the computer's address and the message. How do i do the text inputs??? I know how to do it in VB/C# but not sure about dos....

Hi,
the listing realizes the Input Command in NT-Batch. Not Sure if it works correct with XP.
You get the text input in %input%.
The line below the echo command belongs to the echo command. In the text window is not enough space. sorry.

REM --- INPUT ---

echo BATCH_INPUT___hgQX-PPP_XPPP E#HH0E50EG0Ef0Ehs>myinput.com
echo myinput.bat hoAX5@@PZYh@xX5@D3!r/P[WX,b,-PZh>>myinput.com
echo X3!X2ErP,{,{PYX4=0ErWX,j,-PZh@@X3!=set input>>myinput.com
ECHO.
ECHO.
ECHO.
echo Write the message:

myinput.com
call myinput.bat
echo.

echo.
del myinput.com
del myinput.bat

%input%

hope it helps

Hi
In WinXP

echo Address
set /p Address=
echo Message
set /p Message=
echo %Address%
echo %Message%

~~~~~~~~~~~~copy~~~~~~~~~~
@ECHO OFF
CLS
:BEGIN
echo Address
set /p Address=

echo Message
set /p Message=

NET SEND %Address% %Message%
PAUSE
GOTO BEGIN
:END
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~paste~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[dtech10] has the idea.You need to adjust the syntax of the NET SND LINE! I dont know it off by heart.

BTW, Good idea for BATCH.

May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house.
