Accepting Users inputs on output window

[Shiamak]

How do you apply this input to OUTPUTWINDOW?

In output window my scripts doesnt even wait but it works find in MS DOS window.

You don't apply it to the console window, you would store the result in a macro and use that in the rest of your script (conditional build rule, etc.).

I am sorry if I confused you, the Input has to be to a script (PHP) that is being run by VisualBuild via output window.

Is it possible?
This input is needed at the run time, not at the command line.

The output window doesn't run anything, it just logs output from steps in the project. I'm not quite clear on what you're trying to accomplish, but PHP is typically hosted in a web server--perhaps you could use the HTTP action to call the web server with the PHP script and use the results as needed?

OK, here it is..

I have a php script that generates a choice menu for the user to choose from, I want to run this script from within visual build and want user (ME) to provide an input so the script can take appropriate action.

Is it possible?

BTW: this PHP script needs to be run in CMD.

[kinook]

If you are calling php.exe to run your script, and the script is sending a prompt to stdout and waiting for a response on stdin, there isn't a way to accept user input in the console and send it to the process from Visual Build.

Is there any other way of doing this ?
