My batch file code is like this:
@echo off
C:\Windows\System32\netsh.exe wlan set hostednetwor mode=allow ssid=User_Name key=password eyUsage=persistent
In this code the "User_name" and "password" fields I want the input from the user after running the batch file. How do I make it ??? Please help. And also suggest me modifications in this code if any.
No suggestion for the input part but generally a batch file is completed when it finishes the last line and closes. If I don't want the Command Prompt window to close until I have read it I put Pause as the last element, won't go beyond that until I hit Enter to let it complete.
Request the input before running netsh:
For readability, make sure there is a space after name: and Password:.Code:@echo off set /p UserName= Enter User name: set /p Password= Enter Password: echo Username is %UserName% and Password is %Password% C:\Windows\System32\netsh.exe wlan set hostednetwor mode=allow ssid=%UserName% key=%Password% eyUsage=persistent
Typically console programs request additional info on the command line and use those or report an error if they were not provided. Try something like this:
Here assuming this file is named SetWlan.Code:@echo off if "%1"=="" goto ShowUsage if "%2"=="" goto ShowUsage C:\Windows\System32\netsh.exe wlan set hostednetwor mode=allow ssid=%1 key=%1 keyUsage=persistent goto End :goto ShowUsage echo You must specify username and password. Example: SetWlan MyUser MyPassword :End
Then invoke it like any other command line tool:
Providing the wrong parameters will print the correct usage instructions.Code:SetWlan MyUser MyPassword
Thanks for your valuable help. I got the solution which I want with your help. Thanks Once Again.
