Well, I will first mention that I am a Network Admin and not a programmer, although I am slowly but surely trying to break into that field.

Anyway, I will outline what I would like to do and hopefully someone can point me into the right direction (keep in mind i am a noob )

Scenario:

I have implemented a VoIP system in our call centre and we use IDEFisk. I have downloaded the latest which records calls. This works magnificently well. The recoded call gets stored as a uLAW audio format. I then have to convert that file to a WAV. No problem I found the program to do it; http://sox.sourceforge.net/. I can convert it and away we go.

New Goal:

To create a batch file that will ask for the user to input the uLAW file name (ie output.ul) that IDEFisk generates and also to ask the user for the name of the file to be created (ie kevin.wav), then run the sox command to convert it.

The sox command runs like this:

sox output.ul kevin.wav

That simple. The reason I want to have this is becasue I won't be doing the recordings and want it to be as simple as can be for the girl that will be. Sample batch file look when executed:

This file will convert blah blah blah
blah blah blah

Please enter the file to be converted:

Please enter name for the new file:

(here is where sox will run)

And voila. So am I asking too much? Is this an easy 3 minute type job? I really appreciate any help. Even if someone has links so i can try to figure it out myself. Thanks again.
