It works for me... can you provide more information? Where exactly does it crash? Does it not even start up correctly?

Also you are missing an "options" label, - This might be the cause of your issue.I deleted your duplicate post. Please do not post the same question more than once. Thank you.This should fix most of your problems:

I have made bold what I changed, and italicized a line for your answer. I would also add more "cls" so that the user doesn't have to look at TONS of text at once. Easier on the eyes.

Let me know if you have any questions.It helps if you can break your code in little sections. That is how you try are possibilities for an IF statement without going into the whole page of code.
Look t this:
Code: [Select]set /p you=">"
if %you%==A goto A1
if %you%==B goto B1
exit
:A1
echo A1
This code may or may not work. It will work for A, but not for B
Do you see why?Quote from: Geek-9pm on November 20, 2013, 12:41:11 PM
