Hey guys,
I woke up at 0600h this morning and couldn't sleep anymore ("prä-senile Bettflucht" - don't think that translates into English
).
So I went to write a little batch file to entertain me at work, where we got Windows 2000 (as well as ball/non-optical mice and constantly crashing Outlook 2000
) and the messenger service is not turned off.
Anyways, here's a simple batch file to send messages to other users in the network:
Code:
@ECHO OFF
:main
REM CLS
ECHO.
ECHO --------------------------------------------------
ECHO.
ECHO Net Send Messenger
ECHO.
ECHO Enter recipient (User) and text (Message) to send a message.
ECHO Leave the User blank to retain the previous recipient.
ECHO Enter "exit" as User to terminate the messenger.
ECHO.
SET /P user=User:
IF %user% == exit GOTO quit
SET /P text=Message:
GOTO sendMsg
:sendMsg
ECHO.
ECHO Sending "%text%" to "%user%"
NET SEND %user% %text% - %username%
REM PAUSE
GOTO main
:quit
This code is loosely based on
deckkeeper's example.
There's probably a billion similar - and better - scripts out there (especially because I hadn't used batch files in ages), but it gave me something to do...
PS: I just noticed that the line break char for the NET SEND command can't be pasted into this text field. Check out
this site and copy the square-like char into this line:
NET SEND %user% %text%[line break] - %username%
