alot of what your doing to control choices could be achived with the actual choice command. Setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion For %%v in (1 2 3)Do Set "rb%%v=0" :Pick For /F "Delims=" %%G in ('Choice /N /C 123')Do (If "!rb%%G!"=="0" (Set "rb%%G=1"&Goto RB%%G)Else (Echo/Pick %%G already Selected& Goto ...

A total absence of arrays in batches allows to implement them in different ways: -- arr[idx] (or something similar to) -- arr sep idx (like arr.idx or arr_idx etc) I think that the actual implementation of batch arrays lies on authors of the scripts they develop. I very much agree with the principl...

Anmerkung 2020-09-05 134427.png ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Maybe some examples would be helpful. Steffen Helpful to be sure, there was also a change I made and failed to test appropriately before the last upload that cut off a lot of the Usage Error messages. That's now been fixed, and more detailed usage info prov...

The all in one package is complete Modes: [Def] Define, modify or clear an array. [Def] Switches: [/A:Groupname] [/F:Filepath.ext] [/D] [/O:Index#Arg] [/E:Element Sub value] [Sort-int] Sorts array by lowest or highest value using /L or /H switches [Sort-int] Switches: [/A:Groupname] [/N:New Groupnam...

I often see questions on stackoverflow about defining "arrays" with batch. Here's a little something I whipped that I can use whenever I want to establish an array without having to code specifically for it. The usage info and Error checking for is reasonably thorough making it simple to use The scr...

fyi, choice does accept numbers 0-9 in addition to alphabetical characters. Note using a for /f loop to iterate over the choice command will return letters in upper case, even if the choice options are declared using lower case. You can also obtain the available drives using wmic to define (and disp...

Not also there are simpler ways of constructing a batch file using choice to navigate menu's than cumbersome if conditions. A simple example: Echo/ [1] Option 1 [2] Option 2 [3] Option 3 For /F "Delims=" %%O in ('Choice /N /C:123') Do goto :1stmenu%%O Using a for /f loop to iterate over the choice c...

A variant on the Choice for loop option I use when using single letter input to control script flow between labels that cleanly handles non existing labels: Echo/Select Drive: For /F "Delims=" %%L in ('Choice /N /C:ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ') Do (Call :chkdsk_F_%%L || Call :chkdsk_F_other) 2> Nul r...

you cannot pass the value of a for variable to another script or subroutine in that way. The script / subroutine is proccessed in a new child environment outside the for loop, and as such does not have access to the for loops variable. You would have to assign the for variable to a "global" variabl...

The simplest solution then that wouldn't require any drastic change to your process would be to as mentioned previously use a non alphabetical for variable Ie: in the definition macro - any usable character that you would not ordinarialy otherwise use in any library that calls the macro definer

I do believe this to be a known issue, but attempted search terms failed to locate a suitably relevant topic. From the help output for For /? Remember, FOR variables are single-letter, case sensitive, global, and you can't have more than 52 total active at any one time. For variables can be repeated...

the primary program resumes from the point the call is made - If the :menu label occurs prior to the call, it will not be parsed.

The following modification to Squahmans answer is a bit more robust: @Echo Off & CD "%~dp0" Setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion Set LB=0 Set L#=0 call :Read <"%~F0" pause GOTO :EOF :Read set "line[%L#%]=" Set /p "line[%L#%]=" if not "!line[%L#%]!"=="" ( Set LB=0 ) else ( Set /A LB+=1 If !LB!
