How do I specify input to a batch file using a Python script?
Let's say I have a batch file that asks me what my name is. I entered my name. This is a manual way.
But I wanted to try something with Python. Is it possible that I am creating a variable in a Python script and putting my name in a variable and passing that variable to the bat file when it asks for input?
The very first step of my bat file is to ask me my name. Request a batch file name for testing. My main batch file has this code:
@ECHO OFF
:choice
set /P c=Do you want to continue [Y/N]?
if /I "%c%" EQU "Y" goto :yes
if /I "%c%" EQU "N" goto :no
goto :choice
:yes
"scripts\enter.py" yes
goto :continue
:no
"scripts\kick_out.py" no
:continue
pause
exit
So, I hope this helps. I want to transmit about 2 inputs. First Yand others, when it calls enter.py
, it asks for my login details. My username and password. So I need to make 3 inputs. How can i do this?

This is possible: I am using it to input an attack string that uses non-printable ascii characters (like null bytes).
Example using Python 3:
inject_string.py
import ctypes
import time
import subprocess
import binascii
if __name__ =="__main__":
response = "Y"
p = subprocess.Popen("echo.bat", stdin = subprocess.PIPE)
time.sleep(2)
p.stdin.write(bytes(response, 'ascii')) #Answer the question
print("injected string :", response)
echo.bat
@ECHO OFF
:choice
set /P c=Do you want to continue [Y/N]?
if /I "%c%" EQU "Y" goto :yes
if /I "%c%" EQU "N" goto :no
goto :choice
:yes
echo "User has typed yes"
goto :continue
:no
echo "User has typed no"
:continue
pause
Output
python inject_string.py
Do you want to continue [Y/N]?injected string : Y
"User has typed yes"
