I have been trying to create a batch file which outputs text followed by a respective number value, to a text document. My problem is that in order to do so, I need to place the variable %value% (in example below) within another variable.

I have been tearing my hair out - so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Note: the following example is not the exact task I am trying achieve but is a SIMPLIFIED example of the task, and I would probably prefer to limit the programs used, to batch programming and VBS script.

@echo off
set /a value=0
:start
set /a value=%value% + 1
set /p time%value%="When do you wish to begin your task?"
echo %time%value%% >> "Time Schedule.txt"
cls
choice /m "Do you wish to input another task?"
cls
if ERRORLEVEL 2 goto end
goto start
:end

Thanks in advance call echo %%time%value%%%Try not to use the TIME variable as it always changes. Set it as something like TME and use that variable instead. Quote from: Helpmeh on August 29, 2009, 05:03:09 AM
