Techy Computer Question

[Jacko]

Am writing a batch file that prompts user for input then uses that in the path to run another batch file.

Quite simply

answer Enter server code

f:\batch\winxp\%answer%default.bat

The Answer.com application is in the same folder and it works on windows 9x but not XP.

Does anyone know what the xp equivalent is please, cause i'll get some brownie points if i get this right :D

Cheers matey, should it be buttered though, and if so on what side ?

:D

[MattyGee]

hmmm, tough one... i think if you butter the least burnt side and put some marmalade on as well it should be ok, if not then try again but add a cup of coffee slowly poured into the case fan of the computer - sorted :thumbs:

Can you not tell them to type the server code on the command line when executing the batch?

ie

batch.bat server1

then put %1 where you want to reference the first command line option then %2 if you need a second etc.
