title: How to get a prompt for information using a batch file?
body: <p>I currently have a .bat file named <code>RunRDA.bat</code> which contains:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@echo off
  rda -v %1 -i "C:\me\rda-tools-1.7.0.Ra1\Input" -o "C:\me\rda-tools-1.7.0.RC1\Output"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Which I can run by navigating to the following folder for example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\RDA&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and entering a command like </p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\RDA&gt;RunRDA 848
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>so the batch file takes the input number and runs the command. </p>
  
  <p>As you can see this requires a step of navigating to the specific folder <code>c:\RDA</code> before running the .bat file. I was wondering if there is a way I could double click to open the .bat file so that when CMD opens all i need to do is enter the input number and hit enter, without having to navigate to the mentioned directory, therefore eliminating the navigation step.</p>
