The purpose of this program is to search my music for a specific song and be able to play it from command line. I will later add code to control the music but for now I just want to be able to find the song and play it. I am using the '' so someone could enter "Another Brick in the Wall" and let it find "Another Brick in the Wall Part 2" The issue is when saving a variable, it can not use '' or they will be saved as part of the string.
your question isn't very clear. The following should answer what I guessed from your question and comments:
set /p "song=What song would you like me to check for (Case insensitive): "

I created my first batch file ever a couple of weeks ago to use livestreamer more comfortably.
Basically I can either type in the name of Twitch streamer or I can start something from another plattform.
What I am trying to do is is save my input as an option for the next time.
Let's say I went to the twitch stream of "shroud". When the stream ends I would like to put shroud as an option in the beginning of the script:
:start
title twitchings
color 0a
echo Select [#] or enter Stream
echo.
echo 1. non twitch
echo 2. shroud
set /p select=?
I assume it would be easiest to store that list in a txt file and then load it upon running the batch file, but my basically non-existant knowledge in coding hinders me from creating it.
Does anyone know a quick help, I would also love to know if there is a website where I can learn this stuff without googling for hours :)
This is my updated script for those who are searching for the same issue.
#ECHO off
:start
title twitchings
color 0a
echo Select [#] or enter Stream
echo.
echo 1. non twitch
setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion
set "file=C:\Users\[...]\savedstreams.txt"

Thank you guys!
You can use >> to put the output of a command in text file. For example:
echo hi everyone >>textfile.txt
will add "hi everyone" to the last line of the text file.
You can also use > to add it to the first line instead.
(This is my first post here, so bear with me)
Can you show the last user-input in a batch file? I'm gonna try to keep it simple here.
#echo off
:menu
echo Type 1 to proceed.
set /p example=
if "%example%" == "1" GOTO :proceed
GOTO :error
:proceed
pause
:error
cls
echo You wrote (last user input), that's not correct.
timeout 30
GOTO :menu
I know that I could replace the (last user input) with %example%, but then I'd have to make custom error messages for every category, and there are about 50 of them. It'd be easier with a last input command.
By the way, I've taught myself everything that I know about batch, so my example probably has major issues right now, but it works somehow.
You could centralize all user input into a function (user_input)
:menu1
echo Type 1 to proceed.
call :userInput example
if "%example%" == "1" GOTO :proceed
GOTO :error
:menu2
echo Type 42 to proceed.
call :userInput answer
if "%answer%" == "42" GOTO :proceed
GOTO :error
:userInput
set /p LAST_INPUT=
set "%1=%LAST_INPUT%"
exit /b
:proceed
pause
:error
cls
echo You wrote "%LAST_INPUT%", that's not correct.
timeout 30
GOTO :menu
I don't know how to do it without temp file. TO get the things written int the console you need the doskey /history (this will skip the running of the script itself):
#echo off
setlocal enableDelayedExpansion
set "last="
set "but_last="
doskey /history > log.txt
for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%# in (log.txt) do (
set "but_last=!last!"
set "last=%%#"
)
echo "%but_last%"
del /s /q log.txt >nul 2>nul
I made a simple BATCH file for notes, it just deletes a folder, makes a new one, and puts in a file called note.txt and then edits it... for some reason, it doesn't do ANYTHING at all! not even removing the folder, here's the code:
goto start
:abort
ECHO Aborted!
PAUSE
GOTO start
:replace
del /q "D:\Users\Eldar\Desktop\Note Folder"
mkdir "Note Folder"
#echo>"D:\Users\Eldar\Desktop\Note Folder\note.txt"
#echo %note%> "D:\Users\Eldar\Desktop\Note Folder\note.txt"
pause
:start
#ECHO OFF
color e
cls
echo Put the note in here:
set /p LastNote=<"D:\Users\Eldar\Desktop\Note Folder\note.txt"
SET /P note=
cls
echo Note has been saved!
echo also, the last note you saved was: "%LastNote%".
echo so are you sure you want to replace this note with a new one (Y/N)?
SET /P agree=
IF "%agree%"=="y" (
ECHO goto replace
) ELSE (
GOTO abort
)
There are few errors in your script:
del can delete only empty folders. Use rmdir /s /q folder_name to remove folder with files
Remove ECHO in ECHO goto replace
You are using full paths everywhere except mkdir. Is it correct?
My working version:
#echo off
goto start
:abort
echo Aborted!
pause
goto start
:replace
rmdir /s /q ".\TestF"
mkdir "TestF"
echo>".\TestF\note.txt"
echo %note%> ".\TestF\note.txt"
pause
:start
color e
cls
echo Put the note in here:
set /p LastNote=<".\TestF\note.txt"
set /p note=
cls
echo Note has been saved!
echo also, the last note you saved was: "%LastNote%".
echo so are you sure you want to replace this note with a new one (Y/N)?
set /p agree=
if "%agree%"=="y" (
goto replace
) else (
goto abort
)
There appears to be no reason to remove the Note Folder directory or even to delete the note.txt file.
How does it perform if you rewrite it like this?
#Echo Off

For the benefit of the OP, here is your version of your script with the major flaws removed and with unnecessary lines kept in.

I'm making a game and I want a personalized username option that only appears once.
Here is an example:
#echo off
:onetime
echo please enter a username
echo.
set /p newuser=%newuser%:
echo %newuser%> cfg.txt
goto menu
:menu
for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%x in (cfg.txt) do echo %%x
cls
...
I'm trying to figure out how to make :onetime happen once, so that it sends the username to cfg.txt
Anyone know how?
I have cleaned up your code and provided a completed working script, and noted where you will put your game code.
Although Delayed expansion is not needed for this code, I have placed it in the script as you had it in your original script.
Please be mindful of the variable names I have chosen as they are used in several locations.
I have tried to comment the code with info on what it is doing, and I would be happen to explain further if needed.
I'd like to actually play your game when you are completed with it, if I may. :)
Hope that helps.

I want to build a batch program to work with youtube-dl, and I want to ask some questions (choice command I think it should be) and depending on answers to build query which will be executed by main youtube-dl command.
Example:
echo Do you want to extract audio from this clip? (y/n)
echo Write subtitle file? (y/n)
And do this at the end:
youtube-dl -x --write-sub some link
I hope I was clear, english is not my first language. Thanks
Try this:
#echo off
setlocal
:Input
set opt1=
set opt2=
set /p opt1=Do you want to extract audio from this clip (y/n)
if not defined opt1 goto :Invalid
if .%opt1% EQU . goto :Invalid
echo %opt1%|findstr /i /r /c:"y" /c:"n">nul||goto :Invalid
set /p opt2=Write subtitle file (y/n)
if not defined opt2 goto :Invalid
if .%opt1% EQU . goto :Invalid
echo %opt2%|findstr /i /r /c:"y" /c:"n">nul||goto :Invalid
if /i %opt1% EQU Y set opts=-x
if /i %opt2% EQU Y set opts=%opts% --write-sub
echo youtube-dl %opts% some link
goto :eof
:Invalid
Echo You have entered an invalid option. Please enter only y or n
goto :Input
