im wanting 2 have a popup which asks a question & only use 1 cmd file

example

have an autoit script popup & ask if i want to enable or Disable something & have it "goto Yes" or "Goto No" like u would in a batch file with the prompt command

see what i mean? lol i get confused even trying 2 explain it

@echo off

:START
CLS
SET /P var1=Would you like to enable something?
SET var1=%var1:~0,1%
IF /I %var1%==y (goto YES)
IF /I %var1%==n (goto NO)
GOTO START

:YES
echo YES
GOTO END

:NO
echo NO
GOTO END

That should do it...

yes, i know how 2 do it with a prompt via cmd file..

but what im wanting 2 do, is have the message window instead of entering y/n in a cmd file

but im looking 4 a way 2 have the message window (autoit) pass the "goto yes/no" to the batch file

Dont know if it will help U, but have U tryed Wizard´s Apprentice from SourceForge?

no, whats that

Great (and simple) way to interact with users from batch file... Have a look:

ya, thanks . after i posted i searched seems to work well, except its OK/Cancel instead of Yes/No but ohwell

Take a looks at "call" in Windows XP Help. You will see that you can use "call" from a batch file to start a different batch file. You can also include a label in the "Call" statement. IF supplied with a label then the batch file will start AT the label passed.

That sounds like exactly what you are looking for.
