Batch Programming Question

[Magnus_L]

There is this command which i know exist but which i can't find.

Let's say that i want to make a batch file which shows a menu when i open it. The menu will look like about this:

Press 1 to show Systeminfo
Press 2 to to do a CHKDSK
Press 3 to show all the files in the current directory


Could anyone give me a code example? The thing I'm after is not how to simply show the menu, but I'm wondering how i can make the user choose the action.

Code:

echo  Choice 
echo.
echo Press 1 to show Systeminfo
echo Press 2 to to do a CHKDSK
echo Press 3 to show all the files in the current directory
echo.
choice Your choice:
if errorlevel 3 goto do3
if errorlevel 2 goto do2
if errorlevel 1 goto do1
:do1
.... code here
:do2
etc...

This is untested but I believe correct.

There's other ways to get user input than Jordan's method (though, his is probably the best) You could look into set and choice.
