ask set /p variable on a different line

Question

I\'ve seen in batch code that you can ask for user input on a separate line or continue while asking or something. For example it would look something like this;

<         


        

Answer 1

@echo off
setlocal

cls
echo  enter your name
echo name: 
echo enter name above

rem Move cursor to one line below screen size,
rem you must adjust this value to fit your screen.
for /L %%i in (1,1,34) do echo/

rem Move cursor to screen home and hide timeout "Waiting..." message
for /F %%a in ('timeout /T 1 ^> CON') do rem

set /P "name=name: "
echo/
echo/
echo/
echo Name read: "%name%"
