DOS command to launch program after input detected

Hello,

Is it possible for a program to be launched via DOS after it detects input by the user?

The user will be scanning a Part number (e.g. P1234) at the DOS prompt.
Once this is detected the application Excel.exe will need to be launched.

Is it possible to do this?

Thanks.
