Hi I'm new here and I'm hoping to learn a lot from this forum. I just started learning simple batch file programming last night and found out its actually a lot of fun. If someone could please tell me why this isn't working that would be great. I'm just trying to put in a password and have it open the mplayer.exe

Thank,
Devin

18 views and nobody knows? This should be a cakewalk for you guys. =)

Wow I just figured out if i type in the wrong password then it opens up the program but if I type in the right password nothing happens..I'm lost

[s4nt0s123]

Never mind i figured it out!

Original string:
IF '%pas%' == 'toe' GOTO mplayerc.exe

Working string:
IF '%pas%' ==toe GOTO mplayerc.exe

haha I feel stupid

when you pointed to goto you pointet to mplayerc.exe but your variable is mplayer :D

Also, you need another goto after your IF statement so you won't launch mplayer anyway.

Thanks a lot for the feedback, I was wondering how i would do the next IF statement to make it so it wont open mplayer. How could I make it to where anything but the right password will close out the program or repeat Please type your password?

So I have this

set /p pas=Please type your password:
IF '%pas%' == 'toe' GOTO mplayer

So what do I use to make sure only the right password will work?

IF '%pas%' == '?' GOTO whatever I want =)
