how to get user input in a batch (script) file? 1

[vpshriyan]

hi,

In a batch file I would like to get the input from the user. In Windows-98 for example following syntax works fine; but under Win-2000 it does not.

choice /c:yn "Are you sure ?"

Can anyone help me out? I would appreciate any suggestion.

Thanks.
Shriyan

PAndersen's tip looks good.
PS. Also - you could copy choice.com from win98 to 2k (it works in 2k on my machine).
