I really want to learn. l8r nueone | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 1,273 DollarDNS Owner | DollarDNS Owner Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 1,273 | yo stupid, I already gave you code on how to do this. Here, I'll leave out all the extra crap, maybe you'll get a clue this time. It's part of a batch file I've made to install a program I've made. @ECHO OFF
:MAIN
CLS
ECHO Welcome to the TCP WorkShop Installation setup.
ECHO Here we'll register or unregister the required DLL files.
ECHO.
ECHO Please choose:
ECHO 1 Auto Install
ECHO 2 Auto Uninstall
ECHO 3 Expert Install
ECHO 4 Expert Uninstall
ECHO 5 Quit
ECHO.
CHOICE /n /c:12345 "> "
IF ERRORLEVEL 5 GOTO QUIT
IF ERRORLEVEL 4 GOTO EUninstall
IF ERRORLEVEL 3 GOTO EInstall
IF ERRORLEVEL 2 GOTO AUninstall
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO AInstall
:AInstall
ECHO dumbass pressed 1
pause
GOTO MAIN
:AUninstall
ECHO dumbass pressed 2
pause
GOTO MAIN
:EInstall
ECHO dumbass pressed 3
pause
GOTO MAIN
:EUninstall
ECHO dumbass pressed 4
pause
GOTO MAIN
:QUIT
ECHO dumbass wanted to quit
pause See that? Put that into a batch file and run it. Can't you figure it out by example? (required external program: CHOICE.COM. You used to be able to download batch utility files from my website, but since I don't have it up yet, I've opened an FTP server to its download directory: server: serialcoders.sytes.net:21 location: /Download/DOS/BatUtils.zip) | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 815 nobody | nobody Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 815 | What type of user input did you want to put into the file? I dont think its a strong enough language to handle variables. The user input in rage's script is in the form of the user making a choice, either 1,2,3,or 4. All other input has to be taken from files or input devices I think I never got to heavy into batch scripting... | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 1,273 DollarDNS Owner | DollarDNS Owner Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 1,273 | "I never got to heavy into batch scripting..."
Then don't speak up.
Batch programming has plenty of variables. Environment variables. I rely on them heavily in certain tasks. Also, you don't have to make a numerical choice from 1 to 5. You can make it a yes/no/cancel choice using the y/n/c characters. Any character you want can be the input.
People has made batch viruses before. It is not as weak as you may think. | | | | Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 10 Junior Member | OP Junior Member Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 10 | thnx for the help sr, sorry your all like pissed off, just asking a question, i couldnt get it before so i was tryin again and just wanted to get more answers. l8r nueone | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 1,273 DollarDNS Owner | DollarDNS Owner Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 1,273 | I'll let you in on a little secret. I don't get pissed. I've been pissed all of 3 times on this board. once at TRON, a second time at IceDog, and a 3rd time at Caffeine - which comparitively didn't last nearly as long. Of those three, only TRON put me into a true RAGE. It's where I got my name after all. Everything else is just a moments irritation which I forget about in 5 minutes. | | | | Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 10 Junior Member | OP Junior Member Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 10 | SR- what did tron do to get you all pissed off. nueone00 | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 1,273 DollarDNS Owner | DollarDNS Owner Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 1,273 | nah, I won't get into this discussion in the newbie forum.

IceDog pissed me off cause of his actions toward me. Caffeine pissed me off with his blind arrogance. TRON pissed me off with a combonation of both.
You've got the right stuff there Gizmo, I agree, you've displayed both to Learner. But mostly, you're not arrogant, it's just conceit like I have. And mostly you don't smack people around unless they deserve it. It's a good thing, don't change. | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 562 UGN Supporter | UGN Supporter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 562 | Yea Gizzy got me.... I was Pwned... lol
