Solve : Can a batchfile make another file to remember something??

Answer» <html><body><p>Hey guys, I was wondering if it's possible to make another <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/file-11330" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FILE">FILE</a> which stores something from the original batchfile so you can skip a part of the batch file? I think it's kinda annoying if you'd have to do that.<br/>Lol I hope you understand...<br/><br/><br/>Here's the code<br/><br/> Code: <a>[Select]</a>:1<br/>IF EXIST "" "Save" GOTO 2<br/>ECHO What Torrent Downloader are you using?<br/>ECHO 1: µTorrent<br/>ECHO 2: BitTorrent<br/>ECHO 3: Vuze<br/>ECHO 4: BitComet<br/>ECHO.<br/>ECHO If there is any other Client you are using, notify me<br/>ECHO and I'll add it to the list ;)<br/>ECHO.<br/>SET /P L=Type your desired number and press ENTER: <br/>IF %L%==1 SET TORRENT=%HOMEDRIVE%\Program Files\uTorrent\uTorrent.exe<br/>IF %L%==2 SET TORRENT=%HOMEDRIVE%\Program Files\BitTorrent\bittorrent.exe<br/>IF %L%==3 SET TORRENT=%HOMEDRIVE%\Program Files\Vuze\Azureus.exe<br/>IF %L%==4 SET TORRENT=%HOMEDRIVE%\Program Files\BitComet\bitcomet.exe<br/>---------------------<br/>---------------------            &lt; Other part of the file, not necessary<br/>---------------------<br/>ECHO Start %TORRENT%?<br/>SET /P N=Type y [yes] or n [no], then press ENTER. <br/>IF %N%==y GOTO SBIT<br/>IF %N%==n GOTO FOX<br/>GOTO BIT<br/>:SBIT<br/>ECHO.<br/>Start "" /min "%TORRENT%"<br/>ECHO.<br/>ECHO %TORRENT% started minimized.<br/>Yeah so what I'm trying to do is making this "Save" file <em>somehow</em> lol<br/>Without it, this code is useless and I have to put the number each time I start the batch file... This is what I'm trying to avoid. Code: <a>[Select]</a>IF EXIST "" "Save" GOTO 2This is also not for one-time usage as you might understand. I'll also use this for other programs I want to start with this batch file and for future batch files also <br/><br/>I've also thought about doing IF EXIST but there is a possibility the user has multiple of these programs...<br/><br/>I really hope you guys can help <br/><br/>PS: Anyone has another torrent client I need to add? In a batch you can create a variable.<br/>If you do not release the variable, it lives forever.<br/><br/>As I dimly recall, there was a Broadway show ...<br/>where the programmer sang:<br/><br/>   "In a clear Batch.....<br/>   ..variables forever..."<br/><br/> Quote from: Geek-9pm on August 05, 2010, 10:21:47 AM</p><blockquote>In a batch you can create a variable.<br/>If you do not release the variable, it lives forever.<br/><br/>As I dimly recall, there was a Broadway show ...<br/>where the programmer sang:<br/><br/>   "In a clear Batch.....<br/>   ..variables forever..."<br/><br/><br/></blockquote> Can you put an <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/example-239971" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about EXAMPLE">EXAMPLE</a> please?<br/><br/>Thanks Code: <a>[Select]</a>:1<br/>IF EXIST TorrentClientChoice.txt (<br/>    set /p L=&lt;TorrentClientChoice.txt<br/>    GOTO loaded<br/>    )<br/>ECHO What Torrent Downloader are you using?<br/>ECHO 1: µTorrent<br/>ECHO 2: BitTorrent<br/>ECHO 3: Vuze<br/>ECHO 4: BitComet<br/>ECHO.<br/>ECHO If there is any other Client you are using, notify me<br/>ECHO and I'll add it to the list ;)<br/>ECHO.<br/>SET /P L=Type your desired number and press ENTER: <br/>&gt;TorrentClientChoice.txt echo %L%<br/>echo Preference %L% saved<br/>:loaded<br/>IF %L%==1 SET TORRENT=%HOMEDRIVE%\Program Files\uTorrent\uTorrent.exe<br/>IF %L%==2 SET TORRENT=%HOMEDRIVE%\Program Files\BitTorrent\bittorrent.exe<br/>IF %L%==3 SET TORRENT=%HOMEDRIVE%\Program Files\Vuze\Azureus.exe<br/>IF %L%==4 SET TORRENT=%HOMEDRIVE%\Program Files\BitComet\bitcomet.exe<br/>---------------------<br/>---------------------            &lt; Other part of the file, not necessary<br/>---------------------<br/>ECHO Start %TORRENT%?<br/>SET /P N=Type y [yes] or n [no], then press ENTER. <br/>IF %N%==y GOTO SBIT<br/>IF %N%==n GOTO FOX<br/>GOTO BIT<br/>:SBIT<br/>ECHO.<br/>Start "" /min "%TORRENT%"<br/>ECHO.<br/>ECHO %TORRENT% started minimized.

I'll try to put it simply for you.<br/><br/>1. Geek-9pm posted in that "batch variables live forever". This is (obviously) not true, and I think he meant it as a joke. (not very funny in my opinion.)<br/>2. You (Ghosty) quoted Geek-9pm saying that, and underneath asked for an example, and from that it seemed that you thought he was serious (now that <em>is</em> funny.)<br/>3. I (Salmon Trout) quoted you (Ghosty) asking for an example, and wrote underneath that he (Geek-9pm) was joking.<br/><br/><br/><br/> Quote from: Salmon Trout on August 05, 2010, 12:55:34 PM<blockquote>Do you have trouble understanding how quoting works in forums?

When I post two different posts after each other in the same topic, they count it as double post.<br/><br/><br/> Quote from: Salmon Trout on August 05, 2010, 01:19:33 PM<blockquote>Actually, it was the other way around.</blockquote> <br/> True about that one lol... I was editing my post and it looked the other way around, I got somewhat confused (chatting with four people at the same time ) Quote from: Ghosty on August 05, 2010, 01:22:42 PM<blockquote>Maybe in the forums where you post, but not in mine.</blockquote> <br/>This is a "forum where I post", in case you hadn't noticed.<br/><br/><br/> Quote from: Salmon Trout on August 05, 2010, 01:29:36 PM<blockquote>This is a "forum where I post", in case you hadn't noticed.</blockquote> It would be dumb from me not to notice that you posted here.<br/>The point is that I'm used to the situation I wrote about the double post.<br/><br/>ANYWAY let's stop this crap this is entirely off-topic<br/><br/><br/>I assume that there's a way to make more than one command in a single line.<br/>For example Code: <a>[Select]</a>IF this=that, then do this AND this instead of putting the commands in multiple lines.You can use the ampersand &amp; symbol to link multiple commands on the same line<br/><br/> Code: <a>[Select]</a>if "%var%"=="egg" echo yolk &amp; echo white</body></html>
