China DOS Union

I want DOS to prompt me to input a string:
After I enter characters and press Enter, the characters entered will be saved in a file.
like this the screen displays
please in put string:
I enter
ddddd
After that, I can get ddddd in some .txt file
Then ask for confirmation input:
please put string again
If this input is different from the first one, then report an error.
Thanks, I sincerely ask everyone to help

I think this has to be solved through programming...
The general idea is like this: first set up a loop, then output “Please input string:” on the screen, save the string entered by the user in a variable, then output “Please put string again:” on the screen and ask the user to enter it again, compare that data with the previous variable, and if they are the same then save it to some .txt file; if they are different then report an error.
This is only a brief idea. It should be very easy to do with a programming language.

The key is how to store the characters entered on the screen into a variable!!!!!!!!
How do I set it?
Could you give the program?

Hehe, this step is very simple.
I don't remember C or other programming languages too clearly now, so let me try describing it using database language.

store space(6) to x //this 6 mainly refers to how many positions it occupies; you can set it yourself
@10,10 say“Please input string:” get x picture "XXXXXX"

That will do it. I think things like input in C can also achieve this, but I don't remember the exact commands too clearly, so I can only give a rough idea, :）

Use get plus s
For example:
get s "please in put string:"
This way, %get% in the next line of command is the string you just entered!

I'd like to ask, can get be used in a batch file???
By accepting input, I mean under DOS

So hard!
Looks like I need to study more!

No need to make it this complicated, right?

Too complicated ^_^
I just want something a bit simpler.

Just use INPUT!
