input variables
Hi,
Just wondering if there is a way to have input from a command line to a script for when it is run
so say in the batch file there is a SET /P option=select option:
but is there a way that the variable can be set when the script is run so something like:
C:\batfile.bat 2

Re: Create a loop to set variable from text file and run bat
Hey I'm trying to do this as well
It does everything fine.
It can read the first line of a text file and use that
But im not understanding how to go to the next line after i have done what I need to.
There are sub routines, does this make a difference?
