choice.exe errorlevel not working

[Adrianvdh]

Hi everyone.

I only noticed this problem yesterday and tried to fix it. The problem did not occur at all.

Code: Select all

choice /C 12b /N /M "Make your selection: "
if errorlevel 3 goto menu
if errorlevel 2 goto test1
if errorlevel 1 goto test2

I have no idea why it won't work any more? ANy help?

Thanks

It works here. *shrug*

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF
choice /C 12b /N /M "Make your selection: "
if errorlevel 3 echo goto menu
if errorlevel 2 echo goto test1
if errorlevel 1 echo goto test2
%0
pause

Yes works for me too. Perhaps a problem with the context of that code snippet (that you didn't post though).

How can I fix this? CMD.exe is acting weird, all my code doesn't really work now. (Just discover 10 min ago)

Would I need to fix a reg item or something?

First try

Code: Select all

@echo off &setlocal

choice /C 12b /N /M "Make your selection: "
if errorlevel 3 goto menu
if errorlevel 2 goto test1
if errorlevel 1 goto test2


:menu
echo menu
pause
goto :eof

:test1
echo test1
pause
goto :eof

:test2
echo test2
pause
goto :eof

If you enter b it should jump to :menu, if you enter 2 it should jump to :test1 and if you enter 1 it should jump to :test2 (in order you specified it). If this doesn't work reboot your machine before you try to do any further actions

@agerman:

Returned error:

Code: Select all

Maximum setlocal recursion level reached.

The name of your batch file is choice.bat, isn't it?

N E V E R call a batch file the same as one of the commands it contains!

THANKS!!!, Using the "!" instead worked , Thanks

P.S. Would you recommend I do this for ALL errorlevel arguments? (Use "!" instead)
