How to input to a batch file and read it?

I want something similar to printf & scanf in C in batch scripting?

This is my script

for /F "delims=;" %%i in (servers11.txt) do  (
type \\triss-s02-vm\ITG\Triton\GroupConfig.csv | grep -i %%i > temp13.txt

REM type temp.txt | gawk -F"," '{print $1}'
)

Here I am creating servers11.txt manually and entering value there. I want to enter it from command prompt. Please help me in doing that.

If you want to create a file from scratch on the command line, use copy con:

C:\>copy con servers11.txt
serverA
serverB
^Z
C:\>type servers11.txt
serverA
serverB
C:\>_

You end copy con by typing Ctrl+Z,Enter (the ^Z above).

you can use SET /P to ask for user input :

set /P SERV=SERVERNAME?
echo %SERV% >> temp13.txt
