BATCH script... help me plz

[HackerZer0]

I made a batch file to net send between my bro's comp and mine, but when i type something with spaces, the program closes...

expandcollapse popup

REM NETSEND by HackerZer0 ver 0.2b

:reset
cls
:start
@echo off
:loop
echo Message to send:
set /p msg=
if %msg%==/loopback goto loopback
if %msg%==/reset goto reset
if %msg%==/ver goto ver
if %msg%==/update goto update
if %msg%==/exit goto exit
net send COMPUTERNAME %msg%
goto loop

:loopback
echo LOOPBACK TEST:
set /p lbmsg=
if %lbmsg%==/reset goto reset
if %lbmsg%==/exit goto exit
net send %computername% %lbmsg%
goto loopback

:ver
echo.
echo NETSEND by HackerZer0 - Version 0.2b
echo     revision 2 - Beta
echo.
echo.
goto start

:update
copy "\\MYCOMPUTERNAME\my downloads\NET SEND\net send*.bat" %0
exit

:exit
exit

it will work when i put quotes around it, but i don't want to have to do that each time i send a message... is there a way to append characters to the end of a variable in batch??

i don't care if it's an app i have to put in my system32 folder...

btw...

i tried

set msgvar="%msg%"

set msgvar=''%msg%''

set msgvar=""%msg%""

set msgvar='%msg%'

set msgvar='"%msg%"'

etc...

Ermm...

This is an AutoIt forum.

The DOS Batch forum is two doors down to the right, next to the ladies loo.

P.S. Put literal quotes around the string to prevent issues with spaces.

i don't want to have to type the quote everytime... look at my first post

You dont have to - just use quotes in the check place...

net send COMPUTERNAME "%msg%"

P.S

Maby you want to convert this bath file to AutoIt script? it would be much easyer to achieve this using AutoIt whatever you trying in bath files.

$compname = InputBox("Comp Name?", "What is the computer name?")
While 1
    $message = InputBox("Message?","What is the message?")
    If $message = "" Then Exit
    Run('"' & @ComSpec & '" /c Net Send '&$compname&' "'&$message&'"', '', @SW_HIDE)
WEnd

in order to use that batch, don't both computers need to be running the messenger service? AutoIt would be able to detect if it is up or not. just food for thought

[Zacharot]

mine is off on every computer I have, so I couldnt Actually test that, just crossing my fingers on that one.

[DW1]

yeah, thats why I am thinking that any option besides Net Send would be better.

@Zacharot, thanks for steering him off of the batch LOL, after all it is the AutoIt forum

@HackerZer0, you should try using Zacharot's suggestion as a base if you still want to use Net Send. The AutoIt will be better than the batch.

you can't use

net send COMPUTERNAME "%msg%"

the script will close
