Getting input data after execution of batch file.

[swapnil007]

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:

@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

For readability, make sure there is a space after name: and Password:.

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:

@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

Here assuming this file is named SetWlan.
Then invoke it like any other command line tool:

SetWlan MyUser MyPassword

Providing the wrong parameters will print the correct usage instructions.
