Ok I need some help with a test file to load data from a save state after checking if it even exist.
Here's the code:
Code: [Select]@echo off
title test save game batch
color 0f

set /a gold=0
set /a hp=100
set /a level=1
set /a potions=1
set /a food=1

:name
echo what is your first name?
set /p name=
goto StartScreen

:StartScreen
cls
echo Please chose an option:
echo.
echo 1. Load
echo 2. Change Varibles
echo 3. Check Varibles
echo 4. Save
echo 5. Exit
echo.
set /p pass=
if %pass%==1 goto load
if %pass%==2 goto ChangeVaribles
if %pass%==3 goto CheckVaribles
if %pass%==4 goto Save
if %pass%==5 exit
goto StartScreen

:load
cls
if exist ("tsgb%name%.txt") goto loader
echo No file exist for you.
pause >nul
goto StartScreen

:loader
for /f %%a in ("tsgb%name%.txt") do set %%a
echo Done. Please check stats to verify.
pause >nul
goto StartScreen

:ChangeVaribles
cls
echo what would you LIKE to change?
echo.
echo 1. Gold
echo 2. HP
echo 3. Level
echo 4. Potions
echo 5. Food
echo.
set /p change1=
echo what would you like to change it to?
set /p change2=
if %change1%==1 set gold=%change2%
if %change1%==1 set change1=gold
if %change1%==2 set hp=%change2%
if %change1%==2 set change1=HP
if %change1%==3 set level=%change2%
if %change1%==3 set change1=Level
if %change1%==4 set potions=%change2%
if %change1%==4 set change1=Potions
if %change1%==5 set food=%change2%
if %change1%==5 set change1=Food

echo.
echo.
echo Done. Changed %change1% to %change2%
goto StartScreen

:CheckVaribles
cls
echo Gold %gold%
echo HP %hp%
echo Level %level%
echo Potions %potions%
echo Food %food%
pause >nul
goto StartScreen

:save
cls
(echo gold=%gold%)> tsgb%name%.txt
(echo hp=%hp%)>> tsgb%name%.txt
(echo Level=%level%)>> tsgb%name%.txt
(echo Potions=%potions%)>> tsgb%name%.txt
(echo food=%food%)>> tsgb%name%.txt
echo Done. Saved to tsgb%name%.txt
pause >nul
goto StartScreen


Each time it changes everything as it should and SAVES to the correct file, but when I select load even after just SAVING it, i get the message: No file exist for you.

Any suggestions?
if exist "tsgb%name%.txt" goto loader instead of if exist ("tsgb%name%.txt") goto loader

If that doesn't help then check that the file actually exists in the current folder.QUOTE from: foxidrive on July 12, 2013, 06:03:13 PM

if exist "tsgb%name%.txt" goto loader instead of if exist ("tsgb%name%.txt") goto loader

If that doesn't help then check that the file actually exists in the current folder.

Code: [Select]for /f "usebackq delims=" %%a in ("tsgb%name%.txt") do set myvar=%%a
If that text file just has one line of text in it and you are trying to assign it to a variable then just do this.
Code: [Select]set /p myvar=<tsgb%name%.txt

The output on the :loader screen now reads


Environment variable tsgbjasperjester.txt not defined.
Done. Please check stats to verify.


just as a note i tried removing the () around the

Code: [Select]for /f %%a in ("tsgb%name%.txt") do set %%a
but it just closed immediately.

but this will only populate the variable to the last line in the file

ok but if one player has 7 stats to track and each player gets up to 3 companions each will ever changing stats that have to be saved and loaded

I was pointing out that your syntax was wrong and it would not read a file at all.

for /f "delims=" %%A in ('type "%name%.values"') do (
set %%A
)

What is a 'tsbg'?
