I know this is a peculiar question, but here goes....

I'm MAKING a text game that will be constantly saving to "CurrentLevel.txt".

At the start menu, there is an option to load your last save. The code i used is...

SET /p GAMESTATECODE= IF "%GAMESTATECODE%"=="%GAMESTATECODE%" GOTO %GAMESTATECODE%

This works except, if someone tries to cheat, and changes their code to an invalid one, you get an error and it crashes.

The level codes will be the same as the labels.

Is there a way to create a label that will be whatever GAMESTATECODE is, and have it at the end, so if there is an invalid level code, it will display and error message?

NOTE: I did this to avoid having a huge amount of IF commands as there will be a huge amount of saves.

Code: [Select]SET /p game= <CurrentLevel.txt
IF "%GAME%"=="" GOTO invalid
if not exist file.dat goto invalid
for /f "delims=" %%a in (file.dat) do if %g%=%%a goto %%a
goto invalid
create a read only file called file.dat with all accepted saves. for ex if accepted saves are 1 2 3 4 5 6
file.dat contains
Code: [Select]1
2
3
4
5
6
create a label called invalid
P.S could you pm me the game or post it here i would like to try it. Unless I've done something wrong, it still crashes... Thank you anyways though. I GUESS I'd RATHER have it crash than continue on..

----

I'm not finished yet, but i can post what is done if you'd like. It's just a simple text adventure kind of game, where you choose your path kind of thing.can i see the whole codeThis is what I have so far. I implanted you said and it still crashed, so I went back to what I had originally.

Thanks for your help.
