Window from Batch? [SOLVED]

[MikeInThe901]

I can use the code below in a batch file to get keyboard input from a command prompt. Is it possible to do the same thing but get the input from a Window instead of a prompt?

set /p Var=What is your name:

Thanks!

test-1.bat

Code: Select all

@echo off
for /f "delims=" %%i in ('powershell "Add-Type -AssemblyName Microsoft.VisualBasic; [Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction]::InputBox('What is your name:')"') do (
    set "Var=%%i"
)
echo,%Var%
pause

@echo off

for /f "delims=" %%i in ('cscript "%temp%\GetInput.vbs" //nologo //e:vbscript') do (
    set "Var=%%i"
)
echo,%Var%
pause
