It's part of a batch file I've made to install a program I've made. Code: @ECHO OFF :MAIN CLS ECHO Welcome to the TCP WorkShop Installation setup. ECHO Here we'll register or unregister the required DLL files. ECHO. ECHO Please choose: ECHO 1 Auto Install ECHO 2 Auto Uninstall ECHO 3 Expert Install ECHO 4 Expert Uninstall ECHO 5 Quit ECHO. CHOICE /n /c:12345 "> " IF ERRORLEVEL 5 GOTO QUIT IF ERRORLEVEL 4 GOTO EUninstall IF ERRORLEVEL 3 GOTO EInstall IF ERRORLEVEL 2 GOTO AUninstall IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO AInstall :AInstall ECHO dumbass pressed 1 pause GOTO MAIN :AUninstall ECHO dumbass pressed 2 pause GOTO MAIN :EInstall ECHO dumbass pressed 3 pause GOTO MAIN :EUninstall ECHO dumbass pressed 4 pause GOTO MAIN :QUIT ECHO dumbass wanted to quit pause See that? Put that into a batch file and run it. Can't you figure it out by example? (required external program: CHOICE.COM. You used to be able to download batch utility files from my website, but since I don't have it up yet, I've opened an FTP server to its download directory: server: serialcoders.sytes.net:21 location: /Download/DOS/BatUtils.zip) Domain Registration, Hosting, Management http://www.dollardns.net

The user input in rage's script is in the form of the user making a choice, either 1,2,3,or 4. All other input has to be taken from files or input devices I think I never got to heavy into batch scripting...

I rely on them heavily in certain tasks. Also, you don't have to make a numerical choice from 1 to 5. You can make it a yes/no/cancel choice using the y/n/c characters. Any character you want can be the input. People has made batch viruses before. It is not as weak as you may think. Domain Registration, Hosting, Management http://www.dollardns.net

I've been pissed all of 3 times on this board. once at TRON, a second time at IceDog, and a 3rd time at Caffeine - which comparitively didn't last nearly as long. Of those three, only TRON put me into a true RAGE. It's where I got my name after all. Everything else is just a moments irritation which I forget about in 5 minutes.

Caffeine pissed me off with his blind arrogance. TRON pissed me off with a combonation of both. You've got the right stuff there Gizmo, I agree, you've displayed both to Learner. But mostly, you're not arrogant, it's just conceit like I have. And mostly you don't smack people around unless they deserve it. It's a good thing, don't change.
