Hello, I didn't see a tutorial on this subject so i'll go ahead and do it.

Long ago I used batch file programming a quite a bit. I used vbscript files
to get user input for the batch files. So here is a simple example of using the
'call' command to call for the vbscript file which should be in the same folder as the .bat file.

in the batch file pretty much anywhere you can start the vbscript, and call another
.bat file- using @ to of course not echo the line of code -

CODE

@ start /w wscript.exe userin.vbs
@ call ~anyname.bat
@ del ~anyname.bat


now for the .vbs file : create userin.vbs using a text editor such as notepad -

CODE

strUserIn = InputBox("This is the the input box will say")
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strFileName = fs.BuildPath(Wscript.ScriptFullName & "\..", "~anyname.bat")
strFileName = fs.GetAbsolutePathName(strFileName)
Set ts = fs.OpenTextFile(strFileName, 2, True)
ts.WriteLine "set userin=" & strUserIn
ts.Close[code]

Now we use what ever was typed in to execute a command.
So any dos/batch command that makes sense will fit there

[code]@ Batch/doscommand -A %USERIN%


And that is the basic idea of using vbs for batch files.

question
Get User Input From Vbscript For Batch Files

I search for a thing like this.
I would like to open in a VBS file a custom Windows dialog box to find for a file in my computer (the custom dialog in File -> Open) and pass the path of the file to a BATCH file.
Is it possible ?
