Hi!
I need to write something like :
but I want that it matches 'Q' also. So I thought about writing something like :
But it doesn't work.
Any idea how I can translate 'q' OR 'Q' ?
Thank you!

For this application you don't need an OR - you just need to do a case insensitive comparison:
To emulate OR between any possible conditional tests it is easiest to use a temporary variable: (pseudo code)
Code: Select all
set "TEST="
if <condition 1> set TEST=1
if <condition 2> set TEST=1
if defined TEST <condition 1 OR condition 2 is true so do whatever>

You say that's the easiest way. What's the hard way then?

Greetings chogall
Try this (untested)
Code: Select all
@echo off
set /p choice="Enter q or Q "
if %choice%==q goto quit
if %choice%==Q goto quit
:quit
echo You picked %choice%
pause
set choice=
Best wishes.
