Hi guys,

Ive been racking my brains over the weekend and frazled the last remaining braincell on it.

What im trying to do is to have a batch file run, the user presses a key (1 2 or 3) and this runs 1.bat 2.bat or 3.bat. You get the idea.

However when you launch a shortcut I cannot see any way to make it wait for the user to press the required number because the batch file shuts up and returns to Windows. I did think perhaps a cmd but its a bit of a kludge.

Any ideas ?

 

What operating system will it be running on?

 

@echo off
set /p input="Enter Number>"
call %input%.bat

??
