A Fun Interactive Batch Script
In this tutorial you will learn how to make a cool little batch script that can interact with the user.
First open up notepad and enter this code:
cls
echo What is your name?
set /p name=
if ‘%name%’ == ‘awesty’ goto awesome
echo You suck!
pause
exit
:awesome
Color 4f
echo.
echo You RULE!
pause
Now if you save it as something.bat, make sure that the ‘Save As Type…’ is set to ‘All Files’, and double click it a console window should appear. If you enter awesty you will get the message You Rule! and the console will turn red. If you enter anything else you will get told that you suck. How does it work you ask?
cls
Take away the @echo off and run the script again. It should look like C:\Some Folder\>What is your name?, instead of just What is your name?. The @ in front of ‘echo off’ stops the echo off from being displayed. ‘cls’ just clears the screen.
The next line (echo What is your name?) just outputs ‘What is your name?’ to the console. If you type echo, everything after it on the same line will be outputted (yes… I know its not a real word).
if ‘%name%’ == ‘awesty’ goto awesome
’set /p name=’ sets the variable name to whatever the user enters. the next line is an if statement checking if the variable name (’%name%’) is equal to awesty. If it is it will go to the label awesome, if not it will just continue with the script. I will explain more about that later.
pause
exit
Outputs You suck! then pauses (waits for the user to hit a key) and then exits the program.
Color 4f
echo.
echo You RULE!
pause
This is where the if statement takes you if it returns true. It changes the background color to Red and the font color to white (4 = red, f = white). It then makes a new line and outputs You RULE!, waits for the user to hit a key and then exits. We didn’t need to write ‘exit’ to make the program exit this time because there is no code following so it exits automatically.
Try messing around with that script and see what else you can get it to do.

good job, it was fun to mess with
Wow, that’s pretty cool.
very nice blog thanks… please dont forgot to visit my blog also… i have alots of free movies and software application download…
This is pretty cool
Awesty I’m trying to make something like
@echo off
echo Quiz Time!
echo Who Owns this computer?
set /p name=
if ‘%name%’ == ‘kurt’ goto awesome
if ‘%name%’ == ‘Kurt’ goto awesome
Color 4f
echo Incorrect!
:awesome
Color 2f
echo.
echo Correct!
@echo off
echo What are Kurt’s favorite pets?
set /p name=
if ‘%name%’ == ‘Frodo and Lucy’ goto yep
if ‘%name%’ == ‘frodo and lucy’ goto yep
if ‘%name%’ == ‘Lucy and Frodo’ goto yep
if ‘%name%’ == ‘lucy and frodo’ goto yep
Color 4f
echo Incorrect!
:yep
Color 2f
echo.
echo Correct!
but it is not working out.
It would be more like this:
@echo offecho Quiz Time!
echo Who Owns this computer?
set /p name=
if ‘%name%’ == ‘kurt’ goto awesome
if ‘%name%’ == ‘Kurt’ goto awesome
Color 4f
echo Incorrect!
goto parttwo
:awesome
Color 2f
echo.
echo Correct!
:parttwo
echo What are Kurt\'s favorite pets?
set /p name=
if ‘%name%’ == ‘Frodo and Lucy’ goto yep
if ‘%name%’ == ‘frodo and lucy’ goto yep
if ‘%name%’ == ‘Lucy and Frodo’ goto yep
if ‘%name%’ == ‘lucy and frodo’ goto yep
Color 4f
echo Incorrect!
exit
:yep
Color 2f
echo.
echo Correct!
Oh never mind I had to make it 1 word but how do I make it a sentence???
do you no how to make a sentence tho i also made a robot program called Xtron the code is so far

the //— is for organization i need sentence thing for the name still tho
What do you mean?
Like so the user can reply a sentence instead of one word?
Yes sorry It took so long lol…
so how do you reply in a sentence?
One of the most helpful code snippets I’ve found in a long time. I knew there was a way to do it, but didn’t know how. Thanks!
Wow I remember this it was like a year ago… and you never answered me haha
Lol, he still hasn’t.
