   Hello,   
      
   I need help and solution for the following situtation.   
      
   I have two files: source.txt and output.txt   
   Source.txt file has two lines.   
      
   I need a batch file that does the following:   
   - Asks the user to enter a number   
   - Copies the second line from the source.txt file in the output.txt file as   
   many times as the value entered (each time creating a new row)   
   - on starting up again does the same thing so that adds a lines below the   
   existing ones   
      
   If anyone can help I would be grateful.
