lordflyingpoo Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordflyingpoo Posted June 30, 2004 Author Share Posted June 30, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordflyingpoo Posted June 30, 2004 Author Share Posted June 30, 2004 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.

catwalker63 Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Sounds like your going to need to learn a scripting language like Perle or VBS. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
