  • Answer:

    You can do that in two different ways. The first one is to append www. and .com to wichever the program get as input with SET /P command. For example: set /p name=Enter the command you wish: start www.%name%.com If you want to run just certain programs, it is easier to show a menu and read just a digit to select an option. For example: :menu cls echo 1- Google echo 2- Yahoo! echo 9- exit :getoption echo/ set /p option=Enter the option you wish: for %%o in (1 2 9) do if "%option%" == "%%o" goto option-%%o echo Invalid option, repeat goto getoption :option-1 start www.google.com goto menu :option-2 start www.yahoo.com goto menu :option-9

Set /p Input=Enter website name (no www or .com, just the name)-- Start www.%Input%.com This doesn't do any error checking

The Outcaste

you would have command line parameters. in the file, they are referenced by %0, %1, %2, etc. with %0 referencing the name of the file you called, and %1 on representing any parameters.

You can't open a website in a command window.  Websites must be opened in something that can interpret HTML coding;  i.e., a browser.  The best you can hope for is to transfer files to your computer in a command window using FTP, but you have to know the location of the files you want to download.
