Hi guys,
I am trying to create a batch file to help automate me creating dvi and pdf files from tex files. I'm in a windows xp environment. I have set up a batch file that asks the user whether they want to create a pdf file or a dvi file for output and then opens the command line editor:
At present I'm not doing anything with the information the user has given me, but I will. At present I just want to know how to add information to the prompt. At present all it does is open up the command prompt to the current directory, I want it to then write information to the prompt and execute it. Like so:
The command prompt opens like I said:
Then the batch file writes to the prompt:
Which will then convert the tex file into a dvi file and clear all the other files such as the aux file and log file. How do I get the batch file to write to the prompt?
