I have a batch file and it waits for the user to write what to do,
but I want it to echo something if the user didn't respond after 10 seconds.

This is what I have so far:

Code: [Select]@echo off
title EXAMPLE
:firstcommand
echo WAITING for command:
set /p command1=
if /I %command1%==go echo thanks.
pause >nul
If it is possible please post an example Code: [Select]@echo off
title Text Wait
:NCA
cls
echo The Command resets after 10 seconds.
echo.
CHOICE /C:12 /N /T:2,10 Enter Command? 1 for yes. 2 for no.
if %errorlevel% equ 1 GOTO EC
if %errorlevel% equ 2 Goto NCB

:EC
cls
echo.Command?
set /p cmnd=
if /I '%cmnd%'=='test' (
cls
echo This works!
pause
exit
)
rem Enter rest of code here.
rem Make sure there is an exit or goto
rem that keeps the batch program from going
rem to the NCB label.


:NCB
cls
Echo A command wasn't entered.
pause
goto NCA
try this, this uses the choice command(you'll have to download the NT version of it and place it in your System32 folder) it waits 10 seconds and then echo's that a command wasnt entered.

hope this works for you
