Solve : is was unexpected at this time ???

Answer»

Attempting to write my first bat script. (knockknock)

When ran, I either GET the "SORRY message" below, if I intentionaly give the wrong responce,
Or when I give the CORRECT responce, I get an ERROR
"is was unexpected at this time."
at the top of the window.

OS - XP SP2

Is this a system issue, I don't think there is anything wrong with the script itself.
- I say that becasue when I run the same script off the CD I get the same result.


***********************
set /p reply="Knock Knock! C:>"
cls
if not %reply% =="Who is there?" (echo "Sorry, but you are not playing the game right!" GOTO :EOF)
Echo.
**********************your "if" statement braces should be on different lines
Code: [Select]@echo off
set /p reply="Knock Knock! C:>"
cls
if not %reply% =="Who is there?" (
echo "Sorry, but you are not playing the game right!"
GOTO :EOF
)
Echo.
