Batch Script – Input / Output – Askit | Solutii si rezolvari pentru diverse situatii IT

We are going to learn how to take input from users using Batch Script.

Taking User Input:

@echo off
echo Batch Script to take input.
set /p input= Type any input
echo Input is: %input%
pause

Explanation:

The first ‘echo’ command is used to print a string.
In the next line, ‘set /p’ command is used to take user input followed by a variable that will hold user input.

set /p input= Type any input

Then for printing the user input we will use ‘%’ on both ends of our variable which is used for holding user input in the previous step.

echo Input is : %input%

After saving the above code with .bat format. When we will run the file, the below cmd screen will be shown.

In the next step we will provide any input. After pressing enter we will get user input data as Output.
