How to get two or more commands together into a batch file

Question

I want to enter a command in command prompt after reaching a specific location. How can I achieve this?

e.g.,

set PathName="X:\Web Content Mgmt\Completed Filtering\2013_Folder"
set comd="dir /b /s *.zip"
start "cmd" cd /d %PathName%

I am opening the command prompt and giving it a path using PathName. Now after reaching that specific path I want to insert the comd variable into the command prompt to get the desired result.

These are the specific commands I am trying to execute in the batch file:

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

C:\Users\anoopn>x:
X:\>cd
X:\Web Content Mgmt\Completed Filtering\2013_Folder
X:\Web Content Mgmt\Completed Filtering\2013_Folder> dir /b /s *.zip > C:\Users\anoopn\Desktop\abc.csv

Answer 1

To get a user Input :

set /p pathName=Enter The Value:%=%
@echo %pathName%

p.s. this is also valid :

set /p pathName=Enter The Value:

Answer 2

You can use the following command. The SET will set the input from the user console to the variable comment and then you can use that variable using %comment%

SET /P comment=Comment: 
echo %comment%
pause

Answer 3

Try this: edited

@echo off
set "comd=dir /b /s *.zip"
set "pathName="
set /p "pathName=Enter The Value: "
cd /d "%pathName%"
%comd%
pause

set "PathName=X:\Web Content Mgmt\Completed Filtering\2013_Folder"
set "comd=dir /b /s *.zip"
cd /d "%PathName%"
%comd%
