Hi, I had wrote some lines to get the user inputs in win2k dos prompt. But how can i store in a temp file and retrieve it and pass it in to another batch file for anohter process? @echo off set INPUT= set /P INPUT=Type input: %=% set /P INPUT2=Type input: %=% if "%INPUT%"=="" goto input echo Your input was: %INPUT% if "%INPUT2%"==""goto input echo Your input2 was: %INPUT2% Can anyone help me in this. Appreciated very much.

[1] I don't see the label it's trying to GOTO. [2] Once you've got the vars set, thay are available to other processes. Do you need them in FILEs? ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

m2,sorry about that, actually i will need to call anohter batch file. @echo off set INPUT= set /P INPUT=Type input: %=% set /P INPUT2=Type input: %=% if "%INPUT%"=="" goto input echo Your input was: %INPUT% if "%INPUT2%"==""goto input echo Your input2 was: %INPUT2% Call process.bat One question, if i do not want to store the values into a temp file. Can i just pass the captured values directly to another batch? If it can't pass it like that, then i will need to store in a File. Tqvm. albert2u

::== bat1.bat set name=abc call bat2.bat ::== ::== bat2.bat @echo the name is %name% ::== ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

M2, Thanks! It works! albert2u
