I am TRYING to make a batch file with a menu, but it doesn't work. No matter what i push it just goes onto the next line or just exits:
Here is an example:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
@echo off
echo PLEASE PRES 1, 2, 3 ,4 OR 5
@echo.
echo 1.
echo 2.
echo 3.
echo 4.
echo 5.
@echo.
pause

if errorlevel 1 goto 1
if errorlevel 2 goto 2
if errorlevel 3 goto 3
if errorlevel 4 goto 4
if errorlevel 5 goto 5

:1
echo YOU PRESSED 1
pause

:2
echo YOU PRESSED 2
pause

:3
echo YOU PRESSED 3
PAUSE

4:
echo YOU PRESSED 4

5:
echo YOU PRESSED 5You're assuming that pressing a key will set errorlevel?

I hoped (and this is the first time i have used the goto COMMAND) !
Any help will be much appreciated !You could do something LIKE this:

@echo off
:choosenum
set /p num="Choose a number (1-5): "
if %num% GTR 5 cls & goto choosenum
if %num% LSS 1 cls & goto choosenum

if %num% EQU 1 cls & goto 1
if %num% EQU 2 cls & goto 2
if %num% EQU 3 cls & goto 3
if %num% EQU 4 cls & goto 4
if %num% EQU 5 cls & goto 5

:1
echo YOU PRESSED 1
pause> nul & goto end

:2
echo YOU PRESSED 2
pause> nul & goto end


:3
echo YOU PRESSED 3
pause> nul & goto end


:4
echo YOU PRESSED 4
pause> nul & goto end


:5
echo YOU PRESSED 5
pause> nul & goto end


:end

That works quite well, and you can always add in extra stuff if you wanted.And the next homework assignment will be Quote from: Dusty on FEBRUARY 19, 2008, 11:59:55 PM

Nobody mentioned the way you want to set your errorlevel. Set it with the choice command. But wait Microsoft dropped the choice command in recent versions.

(I don't know why. It seems that they would have kept it for backward compatibility, even if there are better ways to do the same thing.)(yes I read on this forum that there is a choice written by someone else that you can use, but that is extra baggage.)
