Scripting in XP

Does anyone know how to, in a batch script, to capture a
value that the user has typed in and store to in a
variable?

Hi

set /p can be used:

@echo off
set /p FOLDER=Enter the folder path:
echo %FOLDER%
pause


If you want a windows dialog box from your batch file, you can use freeware
utilities for this:

- and -

Batch Query
http://wettberg.home.texas.net/freeware.htm


Batch Query - The program provides a way to produce Windows dialogs to ask
questions or provide information during logon script or batch file processing.
The included "example.bat" shows each type of dialog produced.
