.exe to accept input?

[jkjk12]

Is it possible to have a compiled WinBatch .EXE accept input?  Either from a .wbt script or any other file (.PS1, .CMD etc...)  I want a .EXE to run as a service and then be able to pass it information.  When it gets the information it will then {do stuff}

There are many ways to setup inter-process communications with WinBatch scripts.  Some of them include named piped, windows messaging, TCP ports, file system files, and memory mapped files.  Which one you chose depends to some extent on each process's capabilities and how much control you have over both processes.  You can find example of most of these techniques in  the Tech Database.
