Batch Help -Enter Your Name

[Scofield]

Hey, I am fairly new to batch.. so I want a little help. Please don't call me dumb or anything but I am trying to make a enter your name program thing.. but if you enter 'Bob' it goes to a page, but if i enter anything else it goes to that bob page aswell. I might be missing something obvious?

Code: Select all

@echo off 
color 1f
title Don't say Bob!

::###################################

:start 
cls
echo Hey there! What's your name? Don't say Bob!
echo.
echo.
set /p bob=Name:
CLS
HEY %BOB%  
echo.
echo.
echo Serious do not say Bob..
if not defined bob (
echo Make a choise! 
pause >nul 
goto start 
)
if %bob%==Bob goto idiot 

::######

:idiot 
cls 
echo YOU
pause >nul 
goto start

Batch goes through the program chronologically. In your code, a user with the name "Bob" would be redirected to :idiot, but since you haven't exactly specified what would happen to any other entered name, the program will simply go with the flow and enter into :idiot as well.
The solution you're looking for would be:

Code: Select all

if %bob%==Bob goto idiot ELSE EXIT
