June 30, 200422 yr is it possible to use a batch file to read a text file one line at a time and then execute a command based upon the data it reads in each line in the text file?
June 30, 200422 yr thats the perfect explanation for a batch file =)well.. a batch file is not more than a txt file, wihch executes commands line after line.. (very simple said)
June 30, 200422 yr Author i dont want to have to modify the batch file, i just want it to read from another to get data and then execute based on that data.
June 30, 200422 yr Author what i am getting at is that i want to make a batch file for an attended cd that i dont need to edit after i write it.the reason for having the second file is just to put commands into which may get edited frequently, that way i dont have to rewrite the batch.
June 30, 200422 yr Sounds like your going to need to learn a scripting language like Perle or VBS. Good luck!
