Alright, so I am trying to make a batch game. I have already coded/scripted the menu. So I tried to run it to see if it works, but it instantly closes! could anyone take a look at the code/script to help me find out what I am doing wrong?
Also I am using Notepad++

I have the following batch script:

The problem is that if I run it on the first time, the java jar file is throwing exceptions because it doesn't understands the variable arguments %argi% and %argii%. I press [b] to start again at the options menu, I do the same thing again and voila, it works! Why? Why it doesn't work at the first time, and if i press [b] to go back and put again the args it works fine every time?
I start the app:
If I kill the script with Ctrl-C and reopen it, it will have the same behaviour again...first time error, and then success.
Thank you!
you need delayed expansion :

You need to set the variable to blank as you get the prompt:

if %answer%==3 goto 'Exit'
GOTO Menu
The final GOTO Menu also ensures that the value that was inserted was not just nonsense, for example sdhghdhf or some other invalid value. It will act as the "default" case.
Just copy this kind of structure to every "decision" and it should work fine.
My code is not completely finished but it was working.Now it closes after the first section instead of going to section two.I know that this is probably a dumb mistake but I would appreciate the help!(The lines are just for organization)

I have been creating a chat room for my school, but I have to bring home the file to make changes as they become needed but my problem is the file path has to be changed each time I move the files from one system to another. so I would like to know how to create a %PATH% that will work for me
This is my full code for the main file:
As you may notice I'm new to this
NOTE: Everything here works fine with a set file path but I want it to work easier for when I change computers.
Anything could probably help

%PATH% is reserved environment variable, documented here: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/path.mspx?mfr=true
For diagnostics purposes you could echo that variable to analyze if that has such value you intended to have:
echo %path%
As mentioned by #Jermu Virtanen the %PATH% variable is a windows system set path...you should not use/change it unless you really know what you are doing.
So instead of using %PATH% use something like %PROGPATH%.
Also as mentioned by #foxdrive, if the user enters "dad" it will go to "menu" before setting the path variable. And again if you instead chose 'Admin' then to 'List users' it will again be calling the path without first setting it.
You could automate some of the login or path settings by grabbing the computer's domain name %userdomain% and current user %username%.
Ie;
SET "progpath=c:\Users\%username%\Desktop\(-_-)"
In your code the path was being set after it had already branched to the menu. This may work for you:
if %c% EQU carrie goto Menu
if %c% EQU dad SET PATH=%PATH%;c:\Users\Dan W Frye\Desktop\(-_-)& goto menu
To put the batch file on the path for every user, use this:
set path=%path%;%PUBLIC%
and copy the batch file to C:\Users\Public and run it from there.
Unless it needs extra permissions it should run from there for every user.
