Keyboard queries command prompt scripts CMD!?

Ability to process keystrokes in a CMD script or command prompt. There is no direct way to capture keystrokes in the Windows Command Prompt (CMD) without resorting to an external script or tools, but here are some ways to get input from the keyboard:

1. Using the command prompt with `set /p`
2. Using `choice` for easy menu selection
3. Custom input processing with `for /f`
4. Keyboard input without confirmation (with `input` in PowerShell)

1.) Use command prompt with `set /p`

@echo off
set /p userInput=Please enter something:
echo You entered: %userInput%
pause

2.) Using `choice` for easy menu selection

@echo off
choice /c YN /m "Do you want to continue?"
if errorlevel 2 echo You chose NO .
if errorlevel 1 echo You chose YES .
pause

3.) Custom input processing with `for /f`

@echo off
echo Enter your name:
set /p name=
for /f "tokens=*" %%i in ("%name%") do set userName=%%i
echo Hello, %userName%! Welcome .
pause

4.) Keyboard input without confirmation (with `input` in PowerShell)

$name = Read-Host "Please enter your name"
Write-Host "Hello, $name!"
