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 (Ed Dyreen wrote:a macro would be easier but that may be too complex...

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.

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.
