If you’re using Windows 2000 or above, you’re in luck. User input is extremely simple. Using the ’set’ command with the /p switch provides a prompt that will allow the user to type in a string, which will then be saved to a variable of your choice. Example:
set /p NAME=Please enter your name:
echo Hello, %NAME%! How are you today?
Easy enough, right? I sure thought so.
