Blue_Skies Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Hi all. I'm learning batch and I'm trying to write a batch file with an option to be able to switch from a 98 directory structure to a XP structure using a menu option. I'm using this to archive my docs on my on a removable drive and I want to create one batch, when run, that asks me what OS is it running on and xcopies the right directories when the correct OS is selected. I have the xcopy down for 98 and XP, but I have no idea how -or if- you can have a menu to form one batch file. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GonZor Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 If "set /p" works in 98 you could use... @ECHO off ECHO 1.Win98 ECHO 2.WinXP SET /p os=Which OS are you using? IF '%os%'=='1' GOTO Win98 IF '%os%'=='2' GOTO WinXP :Win98 ECHO You selected Windows 98 ::Win98 XCOPY goes here GOTO end :WinXP ECHO You selected Windows XP ::WinXP XCOPY goes here GOTO end :end Pause Although I am not sure if set /p works in Win98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
