I have made this PROGRAM but i have a major problem. When i run the program and try to make it act on the answers i've inserted it just takes it from the top it doesn't jump to the ":nametag" i've made. Please try it and SEE if one of ya can find the problem i really hope so.

Sincerly

You are requiring too much from the user. The first question requires a Fine/Bad response (caps included). A better approach would be to make the if statements case insensitive:

Code: [Select]if /i [%Answer%]==[Fine] goto :Good
if /i {%Answer%}=={Bad} goto :Bad

As a coder you need to be more defensive. Just because you code Fine or Bad as the correct response, there is no guarantee the user will actually pick one of them. You must be prepared for any response otherwise the code will fall through to the next instruction which is probably not what you want. In the original code, if the user enters neither Good or Fine (caps included) the code will fall into the :Good label.

Code: [Select]:howru
  echo Hello there How are you?
  set /P Answer="Please tell me. [Fine/Bad]> "
  if /i [%Answer%]==[Fine] (goto :Good
    ) else if /i {%Answer%}=={Bad} (goto :Bad
    ) else (goto howru)

Note: the goto :label statements do not require the colon, but the :labels themselves do.  Not to be confused with the call :label statement which is used for another purpose.

Good luck.  Thx m8 I'll try that out right away.I cant get the else STAMENTS working it says it doesn't reconise them as intern or extern commando...

please helpPlease post your code. That way we'll both know what's going on.

Note: the :OKAY block of code has a goto :1 statement, but there is no :1 tag (label)

Please tell me you can figure it out.

Re-worked the prompt responses to prevent fall thru to the next code block.

That code block labeled :Never seems a bit harsh, but hey! what do I know.  Thank you so much !!! Quote
