In DOS the simplest way to pass some data to batch file is<br />
to use command line parameters.<br />
For example if you want to pass source directory to the batch file, you need to do:<br />
&nbsp;abc.bat c:\srcdir<br />
and in batch file you can use %1 as variable with value c:\srcdir<br />

Choice.com is DOS utility that &quot;knows&quot; how to return diferent error level according to the answer.<br />
For example:<br />
&nbsp;choice (you get [Y/N] and you need to push Y or N)<br />
&nbsp;IF ERRORLEVEL 2 GOTO noAnswer<br />
&nbsp;... (yes answer)<br />
&nbsp;GOTO end<br />
:noAnswer<br />
&nbsp;... (no answer)<br />
:end<br />

How to accept Input in Batch file

Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS-DOS) was an operating system for x86-based personal computers, and traces of it are still found in the Windows operating system. DOS is still used in some embedded systems and for certain legacy 16-bit networks.
