Error: 1 was unexpected at this time - batch-file

So I'm making a game based on making decisions using notepad ++ and batch. I'm new to this and I have no idea what the problem is here.
:start
;startup
cls
echo Wine or Cheese?
echo.
echo 1. Wine
echo 2. Cheese
echo 3. Exit
echo.
set /p input0=Enter:
if %input0% equ 1 goto winestart
if %input0% equ 2 goto cheese
if %input0% equ 3 goto exit
When I select winestart or 1, it goes to winestart for a splitsecond then crashes, with the error message: 1 was unexpected at this time.
Winestart looks like this:
:winestart
cls
echo You are alone. You have a bottle of wine and the clothes you are wearing.
echo What kind of wine do you have?
echo.
echo 1. Red Wine
echo 2. White Wine
set p/ input7=Enter:
if %input7% equ 1 goto redwine
if %input7% equ 2 goto whitewine

/p indicates that the variable is simply set by user input. –
SET
:winestart
cls
echo You are alone. You have a bottle of wine and the clothes you are wearing.
echo What kind of wine do you have?
echo.
echo 1. Red Wine
echo 2. White Wine
set /p input7=Enter:
if %input7% equ 1 goto redwine
if %input7% equ 2 goto whitewine
[Edit: Correct cure, but no explanation of why the error message appears]
Since input7 is not entered, the if statement is interpreted as
if equ 1 goto redwine
cmd expects if something equ anotherthing dosomething so it sees 1 as the comparison-operator. This is not one of the operators it recognises, so it responds that the 1 is unexpected.
A better form of this is
if /i "%input7%" equ "1" goto redwine
where the /i forces a case-insensitive comparison and "quoting the arguments" preserves the syntax requirement where the user enters nothing or a string containing spaces (you have no control over the user's response.)

Hello!
What I am trying to do here is skipping all the steps and go straight to "Writting2" if typed Express.
I am almost done with this fun program but I can't figure out a good way skip all the steps.
When I type "Express or select 'B'
it crashes.
but If I write a name the program works as usual!
Thanks in Advance!
Sorry in Advance if I did something wrong in the community.
This is a way you can do what you want:
#echo off
color b
goto play
:play
cls
set name2= OoggieBoogie
echo Hello, My name is %name2% I'm an AI. I'm here to help with your lazy
::echo Butt :D^^!
timeout /t 3 >nul
echo %name2%: May I Have Your Have Your Name Please? :)
color c
echo (Pssst^^! Want to cut the Bullshit and go straight in? Select "Express" please!)
timeout /t 2 >nul
echo A. My name is
echo B. Express
choice /c:AB>NUL
if errorlevel 2 goto Writing2
set /p "name=Enter your name: "
:Writing
cls
echo %name2%: Hello %name%, Shall we continue now?
echo 1.Yes :D
echo 2.No -_-" ..
choice /c:1Y2N>NUL
if errorlevel 4 goto exit
if errorlevel 3 goto exit
if errorlevel 2 goto Writing
if errorlevel 1 goto Writing
:Writing2
echo Okay.. Whatever you want Damn.. I was trying to be nice ^^!
echo Anyway. Inatiating EXPRESS Route-----^>
goto Writing
:exit
exit /b
Remember: Variables can be accessed by %variable_name% and you can set them by set "variable_name=variable_value" as #Compo mentioned above.
It is better to use choice /c option in your future batchfiles. A disadvantage of this option is that you cannot enter a string with more than 1 character, but it does it's own errorhandling, so you don't have to deal with invalid responses. Also, when you write
echo Anyway. Initiating EXPRESS Route----->
> symbol causes problems as it is a redirection character and should be escaped:
echo Anyway. Initiating EXPRESS Route-----^>

Batch file IF statement only using first character

Not quite sure what I'm doing wrong. For the most part, this works. If I were to type just 1, I would go to opt1.
The problem is, if I type "11", "1111", or even "1234567" it always goes to opt1. The only time it seems to not select opt1 is when the first number is something other than 1.
Likewise, entering 21 chooses option 2. The only way I've been able to get this to work as intended, which is only entering 1, 2, or 3 selects the respective options, is to omit the IF NOT statement.
Could someone kindly point me in the right direction?
#ECHO OFF

ECHO 2 - Option 2

IF NOT "%ans%" == "" SET ans=%ans:~0,1%

GOTO MAIN_MENU
With the code you snipped I can't replicate the bug, however, I do remember to face that very same problem long time ago.
The answer is the quotes; just add it and you will avoid more complex code:
:input
cls
set ans=:
set /p ans=
if "%ans%" equ "1" (
goto opt1
) else (
goto input
)
:opt1
echo success!
EDIT: Regarding the first ans that was set, it is to clean the shell memory. Sometimes a variable could be stored in Windows memory, and even if you do not input anything to the set /p variable, and only press return, the batch will check for the variable and it will already have a value previously set in the memory. Example:
set /p option=
The user input "1". As a result, Windows will store option=1, or, %option% resulting in 1.
So, the even if you do not input anything, the next code will move forward as the answer is previously stored in the memory:
set /p option=
The user does NOT input anything, only press return. The code will move on:
if "%option%" equ "1" do (
echo %option% is equal to 1 because it was previously stored.
)
EDIT: Here is the code, with comments and explanations:
#echo off
:main_menu
cls
echo Welcome menu
echo.
echo 1 - option 1
echo 2 - option 2
echo 3 - option 3
echo.
rem Blank "ans" will clean the memory for a previous set value.
set ans=
rem You can either quote the whole variable with its option, ot not quote it at all.
rem However, its always better to quote it, as follows.
set /p "ans=select your option and then press enter:"
if "%ans%" == "1" goto opt1
if "%ans%" == "2" goto opt2
if "%ans%" == "3" goto opt3
rem The following line will force a loop to main menu if only return is pressed; blank options will not display message.
if "%ans%" == "" goto main_menu
rem In case that another option rather than 1, 2 or 3 are pressed, the loop will warn you, and then return to main menu.
echo "%ans%" is not a valid option, press any key to try again!
pause > nul
goto main_menu
:opt1
cls
echo this is option 1
pause
goto main_menu
:opt2
cls
echo this is option 2
pause
goto main_menu
:opt3
cls
echo this is option 3
pause
goto main_menu
Regarding the %ans:~0,1%, it is to limit the string to a certain position.
So, for example, %any_variable:~0,5% is saying "Start the string since character 0, and go ahead until character 5". You can try that out in the following example. Notice that all echo lines will type out the very same text:
#echo off
set example=Batch files are kinda cool
echo %example%
echo %example:~0,11% are kinda cool
echo Batch files %example:~12%
pause
As it turns out, there were remnants in the code that needed to be removed.
IF NOT "%ans%" == "" SET ans=%ans:~0,1%
IF "%ans%" == "1" GOTO opt1
I'm not entirely sure what that first line was setting however, removing it resolved the issue.
Thanks for all the help, much appreciated!

Batch program not working

I am new to batch coding and I am having an issue where whenever I select an option, it goes to 1 (which is :MEMBERS) even if I enter 2 or 3. I am unsure why this is happening.

My batch file skips specific loops

My batch file skips specific loops and just does certain loops (it only does the first three loops and ignores the rest).
I tried rewriting the batch file, incorporating the new code into an old existing batch file I wrote, but I can't get it working.
echo 1. Login
echo 2. Exit
echo.
set /P M = Command :
IF M == 1 GOTO 1

IF Pass == %Pass1% GOTO 2

cls
echo.
echo Login Successful GOTO 4

echo.
echo Incorrect Password

set /p Choice = Command :
IF Choice == "Y" goto 14
IF Choice == "y" goto 14
IF Choice == "N" goto 15
IF Choice == "n" goto 15
echo Invalid Choice goto 13
:16
ren Locker "PrivateFolder"
attrib +h + s "PrivateFolder"
echo Folder Locked GOTO End

set /p Pass = Password :

Well lets start at the TOP.
This set of code has three things wrong with it.
Do not leave a space between your variable names and variable assignments.
When you need to use a variable you need to surround it with percent symbols.
Your GOTO command will GOTO label 1 regardless of the variable M equaling 1.
.
echo 1. Login
echo 2. Exit
echo.
set /P M = Command :
IF M == 1 GOTO 1
:1
This code should really look something like this.
echo 1. Login
echo 2. Exit
echo.
set /P M=Command :
IF "%M%"=="1" (
GOTO 1
) else (
GOTO END
)
:1
You make the same mistakes in the next set of code. Not sure why you chose to use the percent symbols for one variable but not the other. Again, you need to close up the spaces, use percent symbols for all your variables and your GOTO will go to the label 2 regardless so you need some other code to branch to.
cls
echo Login
echo.
Set Pass1 = MCTh3sn3r
Set /P Pass = Enter Password :
IF Pass == %Pass1% GOTO 2
:2
So again, using my best coding practices I would code it like this.
:1
cls
echo Login
echo.
Set Pass1=MCTh3sn3r
Set /P Pass=Enter Password :
IF "%Pass%"=="%Pass1%" (
GOTO 2
) else (
Echo Wrong Password
Pause
GOTO 1
)
Just going to keep repeating myself. Same problems. Close up the spaces and use percent symbols with your variables. Might want to throw in a case insensitive check for their choices on this one. Not sure how you thought their answers were ever going to match here. You have quotes surrounding one side of your comparison but not the other. Not even going to correct this code you should understand by now what you are doing wrong.
echo. Set /P Choice = Command :
IF Choice == "S" GOTO 5
IF Choice == "R" GOTO 6
IF Choice == "L" GOTO 7
IF Choice == "TM" GOTO 8
IF Choice == "CP" GOTO 9
IF Choice == "FL" GOTO 10
No clue why you are using parentheses here.
:10
(
And here.
)
:End
Exit
This one is dead obvious. You can't have your label on another line.
if EXIST "PrivateFolder" goto
11
And here again. Close up the spaces. Put quotes on both sides of your comparisons. Use percent symbols to reference a variable. And read the HELP for the IF command. Use the /I option!
:13
echo Are you sure you want to
lock the folder (Y/N) ?
set /p Choice = Command :
IF Choice == "Y" goto 14
IF Choice == "y" goto 14
IF Choice == "N" goto 15
IF Choice == "n" goto 15
echo Invalid Choice goto 13
While we are here I would advise that if you are going to keep using the same variable over and over and over again that you clear out the variable before you ask the question. Make this change above.
set "Choice="
set /p Choice=Command :
Couple of problems here. The word file: is on its own line. The number 17 is on its own line. You finally realized that you needed to use percent symbols for you variables but the variable %Pass% is not the same as the variable %Pass %. Close up the spaces and use quotes.
echo Enter password to unlock
file :
set /p Pass = Password :
IF NOT %Pass% == MCTh3sn3r goto
17

Multiple choices menu on batch file?

Hi I want to make a batch file menu, that asks 'Select app you want to install?' for example
App1
App2
App3
App4
App5
ALL Apps
Select what app:_
What I want is, for example I want to install App2, App3, and App5, so I can type on by App ID's 'Select what app:2,3,5' . And when user Select option 6, it will install all Applications!
I know this is possible on bash scripting, but Im not sure on batch scripting?
An example of batch menu is http://mintywhite.com/software-reviews/productivity-software/create-multiple-choice-menu-batchfile/

This will do what you want. Let me know if you have any questions. All you have to do is follow the two steps listed in the script.
Script
:: Hide Command and Set Scope
#echo off
setlocal EnableExtensions
:: Customize Window
title My Menu
:: Menu Options
:: Specify as many as you want, but they must be sequential from 1 with no gaps
:: Step 1. List the Application Names
set "App[1]=One"
set "App[2]=Two"
set "App[3]=Three"
set "App[4]=Four"
set "App[5]=Five"
set "App[6]=All Apps"
:: Display the Menu
set "Message="
:Menu
cls
echo.%Message%
echo.
echo. Menu Title
echo.
set "x=0"
:MenuLoop
set /a "x+=1"
if defined App[%x%] (
call echo %x%. %%App[%x%]%%
goto MenuLoop
)
echo.
:: Prompt User for Choice
:Prompt
set "Input="
set /p "Input=Select what app:"
:: Validate Input [Remove Special Characters]
if not defined Input goto Prompt
set "Input=%Input:"=%"
set "Input=%Input:^=%"
set "Input=%Input:<=%"
set "Input=%Input:>=%"
set "Input=%Input:&=%"
set "Input=%Input:|=%"
set "Input=%Input:(=%"
set "Input=%Input:)=%"
:: Equals are not allowed in variable names
set "Input=%Input:^==%"
call :Validate %Input%
:: Process Input
call :Process %Input%
goto End
:Validate
set "Next=%2"
if not defined App[%1] (
set "Message=Invalid Input: %1"
goto Menu
)
if defined Next shift & goto Validate
goto :eof
:Process
set "Next=%2"
call set "App=%%App[%1]%%"
:: Run Installations
:: Specify all of the installations for each app.
:: Step 2. Match on the application names and perform the installation for each
if "%App%" EQU "One" echo Run Install for App One here
if "%App%" EQU "Two" echo Run Install for App Two here
if "%App%" EQU "Three" echo Run Install for App Three here
if "%App%" EQU "Four" echo Run Install for App Four here
if "%App%" EQU "Five" echo Run Install for App Five here
if "%App%" EQU "All Apps" (
echo Run Install for All Apps here
)
:: Prevent the command from being processed twice if listed twice.
set "App[%1]="
if defined Next shift & goto Process
goto :eof
:End
endlocal
pause >nul
you may use choice.exe see here : http://ss64.com/nt/choice.html
You want to use set /p Example below:
echo What would you like to install?
echo 1 - App1
echo 2 - App2
set /p whatapp=
if %whatapp%==1 (
codetoinstallapp1
) else if %whatapp%==2 (
codetoinstallapp2
) else (
echo invalid choice
)
Here's a trick I learned:
echo.1) first choice
echo.2) second choice
echo.3) third choice
echo.4) fourth choice
:: the choice command
set pass=
choice /c 1234 /n /m "Choose a task"
set pass=%errorlevel%
::the choices
if errorlevel 1 set goto=1
if errorlevel 2 set goto=2
if errorlevel 3 set goto=3
if errorlevel 4 set goto=4
goto %goto%
While I use only 1-4 it would be very easy to add more possible choices.

A batch file is a list of command prompt commands. The following code prints to the terminal:
echo whateveryouwant
print your menu using these echo statements in a batch file.
Getting user input can be found here: How to read input from console in a batch file?
The installing of applications is a little more complex - you need to know the requirements of your apps and where files should be moved - that should be simple, as well; use move on the appropriate files in the appropriate place.
Here's an example of a batch script menu I'm using:
#echo off
setlocal
:begin
cls
echo [LOCAL ACCOUNTS REMOTE ADMIN] --------------------------------------
echo 1 -- List local accounts on a remote machine
echo 2 -- Create a local account on a remote machine
echo 3 -- Change a local account password on a remote machine
echo 4 -- Delete a local account on a remote machine
echo;
echo 5 -- exit
echo;
set /P rmFunc="Enter a choice: "
echo --------------------------------------------------------------------
for %%I in (1 2 3 4 5 x) do if #%rmFunc%==#%%I goto run%%I
goto begin
:run1
rem list local accounts code
goto begin
:run2
rem create local account code
goto begin
rem and so on, until...
:run5
:run9
:run99
:runx
endlocal
goto :EOF
The most relevant bits are the set /p line and the for...in lines. The for...in line basically compares the choice entered with every menu item number, and if match, goto run#; otherwise start over from the beginning.
I saw that none of the above answers completely answered his/her question. One feature that they have left out is selecting all the software it installs in one go (so to speak).
So I made this off the top of my head (extremely sorry if there is something wrong with it, I'll edit it if there is).
#echo off & setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
echo What would you like to install?
::Put your options here, preferably numbered.
set /p op=Type the numbers of the software you want to install (separated by commas with no spaces. E.g: 1,3,2):
for /f "delims=, tokens=1-5" %%i in ("op") do (
set i=%%i
set j=%%j
set k=%%k
set l=%%l
set m=%%m
)
if %i%X neq X set last=1b & goto %i%
:1b
if %j%X neq X set last=2b & goto %j%
:2b
if %k%X neq X set last=3b & goto %k%
:3b
if %l%X neq X set last=4b & goto %l%
:4b
if %m%X neq X set last=%m% & goto %m%
goto next
:1
::Put the code for doing the first option here
goto %last%
:2
::Put the code for doing the second option here
goto %last%
:3
::Put the code for doing the third option here
goto %last%
:4
::Put the code for doing the fourth option here
goto %last%
:5
::Put the code for doing the fifth option here
goto %last%
:next
::Put some more stuff here...
So that was a bit excessive. Feel free to change some things around and such.
What the code is doing is getting the user input (such as if you put in "1,3,4"), putting each number into its own variable, checking if that variable is empty, and if it isn't, sending you to code that does whatever the option was. It does this a few times until all the variables have been assessed.
This is a proposed analysis for improvement on David Ruhmann's code relating to the "Validate Input" section above:
Testing the menu for special characters works a charm except for the following characters "^&<". When each are submitted for input the program closes.
set "Input=%Input:"=%"
set "Input=%Input:^^=%"
set "Input=%Input:>=%"
set "Input=%Input:<=%"
set "Input=%Input:^&=%"
set "Input=%Input:|=%"
set "Input=%Input:(=%"
set "Input=%Input:)=%"
:: Equals are not allowed in variable names
set "Input=%Input:^==%"
Escaping the ^ and & works, but something very peculiar going on with the parsing of "<" and ">" (escaping these doesn't appear to work). If we reverse the order of the two statements as in the above amendment we find "<" works, but now ">" doesn't.
However, shifting the second statement with "<" down thus, both redirection characters work but now ")" doesn't!!
set "Input=%Input:"=%"
set "Input=%Input:^^=%"
set "Input=%Input:>=%"
set "Input=%Input:^&=%"
set "Input=%Input:|=%"
set "Input=%Input:(=%"
set "Input=%Input:)=%"
set "Input=%Input:<=%"
:: Equals are not allowed in variable names
set "Input=%Input:^==%"

There is actually an extremely easy way to do this.
#echo off
echo Which app do you want to install?
echo [APP 1]
echo [APP 2]
echo [APP 3]
echo.
echo Type 1, 2, or 3.
set /p "AppInstaller=>"
if %AppInstaller%==1 goto 1
if %AppInstaller%==2 goto 2
if %AppInstaller%==3 goto 3
:1
[INSTALL CODE]
:2
[INSTALL CODE]
:3
[INSTALL CODE]
The menu, when coded like this, will look like this:
Which app do you want to install?
[APP 1]
[APP 2]
[APP 3]
Type 1, 2, or 3.
>_
The code sets the variable AppInstaller to 1, 2, or 3. The file determines this and redirects you to an installer for each one.
This is fairly easy code that I use a lot in multiple choice games:
#echo off
color 0a
cls
:download
echo App 1
echo App 2
echo App 3
echo App 4
echo App 5
echo All Apps
echo
echo Select What App (1, 2, 3, ect.):
set /p apps=
if %apps%==1 goto 1
if %apps%==1 goto 2
if %apps%==1 goto 3
if %apps%==1 goto 4
if %apps%==1 goto 5
if %apps%==1 goto all
