I need a batch file that contains input data from a program that asks for this data using multiple prompts. So I guess I just need the initial line or two that starts the ball rolling. E.g. One line from the program asks for three inputs (1 1 2 say) then you hit enter and the next line asks for one input (10 say) an so on I can have all the data in one batch file. P.S. I am very new to this. It is my first time using Unix etc. Peter Sodowski

read parms2?"Please enter 3 values? " set -- `echo $parms2` echo "Value 1 $1" echo "Value 2 $2" echo "Value 3 $3" read parms1?"Please enter 1 value? " echo "Last answer $parms1"
