Choosing a variable's value or ''word'' [help]

[jaxx]

Hello!

Im new to using Batch commands and im wondering how to set a variable When i've executed the batch. For example.. You start the program, and then you get to choose the variable's value or word.

I want to be able to use this as normal, as if i've used ''set var=example'' and %var% = example.

Sorry bout the bad english.

I'm not quite certain what you are looking for. Maybe SET /P

Code: Select all

set /p "var=Enter the value: "
echo You entered %var%

Thank you!

I'd like it to open X instances with a code aswell. Like opening 10 instances with ipconfig as a command. right now im using:

:choice1
START x.bat
START x.bat
START x.bat
START x.bat
START....

I'd like it to be only 1 bat file instead of 2.

Thanks again!
