Batch Programming Simple Menu
♦ Simple menu
This is a simple menu where you are given choices, but you must type in the exact choices. If you don't you will get a syntax error. It is a very simple menu which will output exactly what you selected. It doesn't have any looping structure.
@echo off
:start
echo -1 (Message 1)
echo -2 (Message 2)
echo -3 (exit)
echo.
set /p Program= Please make a selection.:
goto %Program%
:1
echo Message 1 was selected
goto start
:2
echo Message 2 was selected
goto start
:3
exit
♦ Menus using if and else if statements.
These menus use if and else statements which will use a looping structure. If you select the wrong thing, it will simply loop you back into the program again. The program can execute the right selection, and loop back into the beginning of the program until you select the exit selection in the first example. The 2nd example doesn't give you any way to exit the program, so it will give you selections infinitely.
@echo off
echo - 0 (Selection 1)
echo - 1 (Selection 2)
echo - 2 (Selection 3)
echo - 3 (EXIT PROGRAM)
echo.
:start
set /p Entry=Please make a selection and press enter to continue.
if %Entry% LEQ 2 (
goto Part_%Entry%
) else (
goto start
)
:Part_0
echo You selected 1
goto start
:Part_1
echo You selected 2
goto start
:Part_2
echo You selected 3
goto start
:Part_3
exit
Another selection menu with else if statements
@echo off
echo - Select A (Message)
echo - Select B (Message 2)
echo - Select C (Message 3)
echo.
:begin
set /p Select=Please make a selection and press enter to continue
if %Select% EQU A (
goto Part_A
) else if %Select% EQU B (
goto Part_B
) else if %Select% EQU C (
goto Part_C
) else (
goto begin
)
:Part_A
Echo You selected Message
goto begin
:Part_B
Echo You selected Message 2
goto begin
:Part_C
Echo You selected Message 3
goto begin
