Is it possible in MS-DOS batch file to pause the script and wait for user to hit enter key?
I wish to do this inside a for loop. After each iteration, I want the script to pause and wait for user to hit 'Enter'

Best Answer
There's a
pause
command that does just that, though it's not specifically the enter key.If you really want to wait for only the enter key, you can use the
set
command to ask for user input with a dummy variable, something like:set /p DUMMY=Hit ENTER to continue...
