Command Line Menu

Nov 30, 2010 at 3:29am
I need some help creating a command line menu for a program I already have created. I have screen shots to show what it needs to mimic. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I'm still new, but (if you are asking what i think you are asking) why don't you use either:
batch to launch myFile1.exe and myFile2.exe

Or just use echo
////////

I might be misunderstanding (happens a lot) if so, My apologies

BTW the batch file1:
1
2
3
start myFile1.exe
start myFile2.exe
exit


or

batch file2:
echo "put message on same line as echo command like this"

^no quotes needed, I just wanted to seperate the command from the message"^

Its my fault I should have been a little more clear. I have to create a command line menu for a program I created the reads XML files. Unfortunately it has to be run via DOS

I would love to know how to use echo... can you explain?

sure! echo is this:

@echo hello world

sweet and simple. put that inside of a batch file the batch will show this:

OR




echo hello world

you don't have to put the @ sign, but if you don't you will get this instead.

echo is the std::cout of batch files ;)

But @echo is what you will see most people use
