Is there a way to assign a character like "a" a number like "1"? So that the USER can input a letter, the batch file will add a number and it will out put another letter that is equal to the two values added?

for EXAMPLE
a=1
b=2
c=3

they input "a" and then the batch file adds two. So the batch file would output "c" because 1+2=3

ThanksTry this:

Code: [Select]echo off

set /P choice=input letter:


if %choice% EQU a set result=1
if %choice% EQU b set result=2
if %choice% EQU c set result=3
if %choice% EQU d set result=4
if %choice% EQU e set result=5
if %choice% EQU f set result=6
if %choice% EQU g set result=7
if %choice% EQU h set result=8
if %choice% EQU i set result=9

set /a result= %result%+2


if %result% EQU 1 set FINAL=a
if %result% EQU 2 set final=b
if %result% EQU 3 set final=c
if %result% EQU 4 set final=d
if %result% EQU 5 set final=e
if %result% EQU 6 set final=f
if %result% EQU 7 set final=g
if %result% EQU 8 set final=h
if %result% EQU 9 set final=i
if %result% EQU 10 set final=j
if %result% EQU 11 set final=k

echo %final%
pause

Does this work out for you?Yes, thankyou. It really helped!
