Batch Script Help clearing history NOT issue with cls

[gbattis]

I need all previous entry's typed to be cleared. I got this to work to clear the password from the history but I want everything cleared from the input history. I know you can clear using ALT+F7 but I want this done automatically to clear the username entry.

My current issue is before the :menub tag.

You do not have a menub label in your code.

Not sure what you really need to do.
If you want to clear the contents of a variable then just use the SET command to clear the contents of the variable.

sorry my bad it is not the menub it is :menua tag and i want to clear the history from ALL of the previous set /p functions as it was done with the password around the :password1 tag.

So use another SET command to clear the variables.

example? I don't see how setting a variable will fix this problem. Sorry for my ignorance I am fairly new to batch scripting.

Code: Select all

C:\Users\Squash>set /p password=
12345

C:\Users\Squash>echo %password%
12345

C:\Users\Squash>set password=

C:\Users\Squash>echo %password%
%password%

This does not fix the problem.

try this save this as a batch.

Code: Select all

@echo off
:a
echo type 1+1
set /p sum=
set /a ans=%sum%
echo = %ans%
pause
cls
goto :a

After typing something and it returns you can get the previous input by clicking the up arrow to put back the last entry. I need to know how to clear this entry as I was able to do with the password on the other batch file.

That should have been in your FIRST post. Try to think about what you need done and explain it a little better.
I google searched for: batch clear command history and the very first link google provided was this.

Code: Select all

doskey /reinstall
