Winput

Winput is a lightweight console application that can display a prompt to ask for the user's input, which is then used for batch processing.

The input string is inserted by Winput into a custom output string exactly as provided by the user. As such, it is mandatory for the output string to include the "$input" token. Since the output string is sent to the STDOUT, the user must redirect the output to a file using the ">" operator.

Winput's syntax matches the following pattern: Winput [TitleString] OutputString PromptString [InitialString] [Options]  [ > File ].

Winput comes with additional usage instructions and examples on how a command can be sent to a batch file, as well as details regarding all the available arguments and options.

There are also a few rules the user should know about when using Winput. First, keep in mind that the case is ignored for the "$input" token and all the options. Secondly, arguments and options must be separated by a space, this being the only accepted separator. Last but not least, all the string parameters are to be included between double quotation marks.

The package also includes a demo cmd application that shows you how Winput works without you having to write any command.
