[Question] Check if a variable is between numbers

[Ranguna173]

Hello!

My question is if it is possible to see if a variable is between two numbers. Ex:.
I have a variable called Num1 and it contains a random number.
Now I want to now if that number is between 1 and 5.
How do I do that?


Pleas help and thanks!

Code: Select all

if %Num1% geq 1 if Num1 leq 5 echo %Num1% is between 1 and 5

This is pretty basic stuff. Read up on IF (HELP IF)

Code: Select all

@echo off

set $var=hello &call :§scope
set $var=10 &call :§scope
set $var=3 &call :§scope

pause
exit /b 0

:§scope ()
::(
   if defined $var (
      if %$var% equ +%$var% (
         if %$var% lss 5 (
            if %$var% gtr 0 (
               echo.variable matches scope.
            )
         )
      )
   )
::)
exit /b 0

a macro would be easier but that may be too complex...

Should read either if %$var% lss 6 (
or if %$var% leq 5 (

The creation of this topic is my ignorance.
When I was reading the "if /?" i skipped the "gtr" "lss" "equ"..etc. section..

I'm sorry!
And thanks for your help.

Wait.. Are you making fun of me?

[dbenham]

No - I was not making fun of you.

I found Ed's statement to be humorous; it is an oxymoron - meaning a statement that contradicts itself.

Oh.. I get it.
Maybe the "easy" ment something else or Ed thought that it would be easy for him but to complex for me.. (In which he is wrong )

I mean macro's are only beneficial if you are going to depend on them multiple times during execution. Otherwise it's a waste of developing time.
