Hi fellow Batch scripters, I need some help regarding a script I'm currently coding. I want the user to enter any command in an user input field and then the script will perform that command as an system/object/internal/normal command. Also, if the command is incorrect, I want the script to not show the "The command is not recognized, blah, blah" message.

For example:

Code

@ECHO OFF
TITLE Console Demo.
:LOOP
SET /P userConsole=Command?:
DO %userConsole%
GOTO LOOP

I just need to figure out what "DO %userConsole" is in Batch. Also, if you could, please implement it in this script: http://pastebin.com/karsBCnw . And sorry for lack of activity everyone, I've been quite busy but I might come back to Batch coding someday in the next one month or so, anyway, thanks and good bye.

It's literally just

%userConsole%

That's it. No "do". You don't "DO TITLE". You don't "DO @ECHO OFF".

You had one job Ali 😏 To not put DO in front of %userConsole%

Regarding the top bit you'd need to if /I every comman

Oh, lol, I didn't think about that one.
Also, is there a way to disable the error message if a incorrect command is entered?

Redirect STDERR to nul.

Code

%whateveritwasimnotbotheringtolook% 2>nul

Hi 🤝
Try something like that :

PHP Code


<?php 
@echo off
Title Console Demo : NOT Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
echo.
echo NOT: Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
echo Copyright (c) 2015 ALI Corporation. All rights reserved.
echo.
:cmd_loop
Color 0A
echo.
set/p cmd=%userprofile%^>
cls
%cmd% 2>nul
goto cmd_loop

Thanks WhiteLight, but how do I retrieve the output and put it into a variable? I would also like it to not output the command output at all.

[annikk.exe]

Parse it! :>

Code

@ECHO OFF
TITLE Console Demo.
:LOOP
SET /P userConsole=Command?:
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('%userConsole%') do (set output=%%a)

echo %output%
GOTO LOOP

I have an echo %output% command here, I know you said you don't want it to display but it's just to show that the output is indeed now contained inside a variable.

Thanks Annikk but I have a slight problem, since I am capturing the output of that said so command and then externally outputting it, I'm actually not really executing it, how could I perform the actual command on certain commands such as the colour and title commands (and much more)? I can't think of a solution! You can test this by doing the command "title hi" It won't capture or doing anything other than echoing " ". This commands needs to be executed and logged into the console.

My code right now.

Code

@ECHO OFF
SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
TITLE Console V1.2 By Ali.
:START
CLS
CALL :timeConfigure
:START2
FOR /L %%A IN (1,1,24) DO (ECHO.!messageLine%%A!)
SET /A LINE=%LINE%+1
SET /p userConsole=^>
FOR /F "DELIMS=" %%C IN ('%userConsole%') DO (SET consoleOut=%%C)
SET messageLine%LINE%=%timeVar%%MODE%: %consoleOut% & GOTO START
GOTO START
:timeConfigure
SET timeVar=%TIME%
IF %timeVar:~0,2% GEQ 12 SET MODE=PM
IF %timeVar:~0,2% LEQ 11 SET MODE=AM
            GOTO START2
            :lineConfigure
            SET messageLine%LINE%=%timeVar%%MODE%: %userConsole% & GOTO START
            GOTO START

Actually, when you parse a command within a for loop, the command is executed.

Consider this example:

Code

@ECHO OFF
TITLE Console Demo.
:LOOP
REM SET /P userConsole=Command?:
set "userConsole=title hi"
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('%userConsole%') do (set output=%%a)

echo The command is %userConsole%
echo The output is %output%
echo Did the title of this window change?
pause
GOTO LOOP

::purr::

How could I output it to the console log without echoing " "? (my console script).

[annikk.exe]

What is "it"?
Output what to the console log?

Also please clarify what you mean by the console log... do you mean the cmd window, or some text file?

"it" = nothing, in your script it says "The output is ", I do not want it to display " ", I want it to display command parameter such as "TITLE Hi". The console "log" is the main script I'm working on which is in page 1 of this THREAD. When you enter something into the console in that script, it will log it and you can see it in the window.

So... echo the %userConsole% variable then?
