calling saved data

[batchcc]

sorry this question is so basic but using the following code

Code: Select all

@echo off
cls
Set /p name=
@echo @echo off > co.bat
@echo cls >> co.bat
@echo SET Name=%Name% >> co.bat
pause

SET /p Name= <co.bat
pause

how can i call the variable %name% and print it on the screen or use it in other places from a diffent file thanks.

Not sure what you are trying to accomplish. Maybe you could give us some background on what you are trying to do.

Currently your %name% variable is equal to @echo off in your main batch file because you are redirecting the first line of your batch file into the name variable.

So user enters his / her name which is stored in a batch or tmp file I can't figure out how to store it in a temp file so I used a batch file and then a second batch file a game will start by welcoming them for example hello user-name welcome.
Thanks

Code: Select all

set /p variable=<file.txt

sets %variable% to the first line of file.txt. In your example, all your would have to do to recall a value stored in a temp file is

Code: Select all

@echo off
cls
set /p "name=Name: " >file.txt
set /p name=<file.txt
pause

I dont know if this helps but here:
@echo off
cls
REM if save exists echos name and exits
if exist co.bat goto Load
REM Type your name...
Set /p name=
REM Saves...
(
echo set name=%name%) > co.bat
REM Pauses without any pause text
pause >nul
REM calls saved data
call co.bat
REM shows saved data
echo %Name%
pause >nul
REM Relaunch to show saved data without having to retype it.
exit /b 0
:Load
call co.bat
echo %name%
pause >nul
exit /b 0
