Is it possable under xp to give give a user a prompt or window to allow them to select from a list of days.

:example

SET Choice=
echo TYPE the day you wish for this to run and press Enter:
echo Example: M, T, W, TH, F
SET /P Choice=day:

The issue I am having is getting this code to work. I have tried several diffrent options but none work the way I want them to.

I will be using this input from the user to make a scheduled task that will run under xp. If any one can come up with a way to do this it would be greatly appreciated.How about this code?

Code: [Select]@ech off
echo Type the day you wish for this to run and press Enter:
echo Example: M, T, W, TH, F
set /p choice=Day:
if /i %choice%==M goto :M
if /i %choice%==T goto :T
if /i %choice%==W goto :W
if /i %choice%==TH goto :TH
if /i %choice%==F goto :F
exit
:M
do stuff
pause
exit
:T
do stuff
pause
exit
ect....yes that will work but I also need this to allow the user to select more then one day possably all the days, Monday through Friday, then set these to a varable in the form of:

M, T, W, TH, F

thanks,
WayneI think it would be possible it more of the IF command but I think there is another way.
Sit tight and someone may point you in the right direction.


Code: [Select]if /i %choice%==M goto :M
if /i %choice%==T goto :T
if /i %choice%==MT goto :MT
That may get a little COMPLEX though...you might want to give them a menu instead
eg
Code: [Select]1) Monday
2) Tuesday
and so on
They can only enter 1, 2 .....Quote from: ghostdog74 on May 19, 2008, 10:11:05 PM

why don't you ask for a yes/no answer for each day in turn?
