Question

I have two scripts. First script is asking user for some input and calling another script giving it the input as a parameter. Second script is again asking user for the same input.

first.bat

set /p input=Insert your input:
call second.bat %input%

second.bat

if %1 == "Y" input=%1 & goto skipInput
set /p input=Insert the same input:

:skipInput
echo Skipped user input

Is it possible to set second user input with first input value without user pressing the same input value? Problem is that set /p in second.bat cannot be skipped like in upper example.

Updated solution:

first.bat

set /p input=Insert your input:
echo %input% | (cd path/to/file & second.bat)
echo %input% | (cd path/to/file & second.bat)
pause >nul

Answer 1

I’m not 100% sure what you are trying to do, but maybe this

First.bat

set /p input=Insert your input:
call second.bat %input%

Second.bat

if %1=="Y" set input=%1

Which will set the variable input in the second script to the value of input in the first script.

Update

If you only have access to the initial batch that calls the others then try this

@echo off
set /p input=Insert your input:
echo %input%| second.bat
pause >nul

After running that I managed to get the prompt in the second batch which just has the set /p line to be filled in using the pipe redirection.
