How can I turn this power shell command for Active Directory into a batch file?

Question

-groupname (Read-Host "Enter Group Name") 
Get-ADGroupMember -Identity "groupname" -Recursive |
    Get-ADUser -Properties mail |
    Select-Object Name,mail |
    Export-Csv -Path C:\Users\user\OneDrive\groupname.csv

When I run the command, nothing happens in PowerShell.

You've used my suggestion wrong, either assign the output from Read-Host to a variable:

$groupname = Read-Host "Enter Group Name"
Get-ADGroupMember -Identity $groupname -Recursive |
    Get-ADUser -Properties mail |
    Select-Object Name,mail |
    Export-Csv -Path C:\Users\user\OneDrive\groupname.csv

Or use it inline:

Get-ADGroupMember -Identity (Read-Host "Enter Group Name") -Recursive |
    Get-ADUser -Properties mail |
    Select-Object Name,mail |
    Export-Csv -Path C:\Users\user\OneDrive\groupname.csv
