Interactive Batch File

Question

How to proceed with an interactive batch file?

Eg.,

DO you want to continue? [y/n]

If 'y' Goto Label1

Else Goto Label2

Thanks

Answer 1

You can use the SET command. The following is the DOS command equivalent of the pseudo code you have above:

set /p choice=Do you want to continue? [y/n]
if '%choice%'=='Y' goto label1
goto label2

Answer 2

Using the choice command, you can specify a set of valid characters and a message:

choice /C YN /M "Do you want to continue?"
if errorlevel 2 goto labelno
if errorlevel 1 goto labelyes
