Printing

[ntbluez]

How would the commands to have a batch file:
prompt to ask which *.txt file would you like to print in a specified directory...?

Example,
I want the batch file to run in DOS window at c:\temp where I may have 5 *.txt files and I only want to chose 1.txt and or 2.txt file to print.

Any help is greatly appreciated! :)

You'd probably find a workable batch file already posted to the newsgroup alt.msdos.batch or several good starting points at least.

I'd use Dir with *.txt first to make the choice list and then use Choice to select the file. But I have no DOS mode printers to even begin testing such a batch file, so I can't help beyond this - sorry.

You have copied over the oldmsdos folder from your install CD so that you can use the Help command which explains all the switches, etc., right?

You need to do it with markers & if....

However that's probably not much help so try <a href="http://www3.sympatico.ca/rhwatson/dos7/links.html" target="_blank">a random site I found which may well answer it all?</a>

If that's still no help PM/e-mail me & I'll walk you through it, it's been 10 years or more but I used to do it for a living so we'll see if I've killed those brain cells yet.... :)
