Hello!
This used to be easy with the CHOICE command in Win9x batch files, but I
think I must be missing something, as I can't find out how to do this using
SET /P, the replacement in WIN XP. Does anybody know if and how to get a
batch file to wait a limited time for user input, and to use a default value
instead if the time expires without user input? I thought it might be
possible to do something equivalent to
SET /P:30,Y choice=Enter your choice
I know this is just made up, its just an example of what I was trying to do,
but does anybody know how I would go about doing this sort of thing? I can't
find any relevant documentation anywhere ....
thanks very much!
