This is a noob question, but why on earth would you use that abomination instead of a proper programming language?

And why join these forums just to post this?

Maybe it's someone from the programming thread just trying to make all the programming nerds on the forum have nightmares about GOTO statements by reminding them of BASIC :cold:

Please do not even mention the word BASIC to me I still have nightmares about programming in that archaic language. Went from C++ to programming BASIC as part of my credits for my AA degree and that language made me want to tear off my arms then beat myself with them for taking that class. As for the OP I really have no clue the only thing that looks odd to me is the :2 thing at the end since i've never seen anything end with that kind of statement.

Hey, don't Bash batch scripts

(I know... that was bad, I'm sorry)


There are advantages to batch scripts, but only when just automating various command-line tasks (I have a few I regularly use at work), not like in the OP's example.

At the quiz, If you enter A, you don't have any IF statement directing it away to accept or aknowledge this response, as such the process contines through the lines in order, including your wrong section.

Perhaps change it such that - instead of testing for B, test for the absence of A (if %input%<>A goto WRONG) - this allows you not to "Correctly" answer by pressing C

then add a few lines to aknowledge the right answer

echo Yay, you're not a moron.
goto MAIN

Boomerang is still my favourite games.

DOS? But.. why? It could be useful for automatic file copying/deleting/renaming commands, but why? You make me want to cry. ,_,

First, I have to ask... why a batch file?

Secondly, it's not working because you have several errors in the code, the most notable of which is this:

set /p input input=COMMAND?

which should instead be

set /p input=COMMAND?
