What I need is a batch file that will give me a choice of three programs to start, and a choice to not start any of them.
It then needs to give me a choice of several more programs, and exit after I've made this second choice.
If possible it should let me press a number, e.g. press 1 for PROGRAM 1, 2 for program 2, 3 for program 3, 0 for no program, and then 1 for program 4, etc.
Is this possible to do?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.This command is called choice
Code: [Select]choice /c 1230
if %errorlevel% equ 1 start prog1

if %errorlevel% equ 2 start prog2

if %errorlevel% equ 3 start prog3

if %errorlevel% equ 4 GOTO A
:A
however if you have xp you have not this commandI should have mentioned I am using XP, is there an ALTERNATIVE to the choice command?
Thanks for your help.Code: [Select]set /p choice=
if '%choice%' equ '1' start prog1
etc
but you must hit enter
i can PM you and send you a choice.exe if you wantSorry for the inconvenience but I've sorted my problem a different way, without using batch files.
Thanks for the help anyway though, it's APPRECIATED.
