Coding & scripting: Batch file help
Batch file help
by narumara - 9/14/08 6:42 AMHey, i'm having some trouble with spaces in this script, can anyone help? Its a version of dungeonman me and my friend are working on, my problem is in the input: (if %input%== look tree goto grovetree) apparently it won't accept spaces as input, but i need it too for it to be effective, any suggestions?
@echo off
:opening
echo Weclome to thy dungeonman game of Asloria
echo.
pause
goto grove
:grove
cls
echo Thou art in yon mystical GROVE, thou hast one miserable headache, it must have some dungeonparty last night. Thou see around you yon TREE in yon middle of ye grove. Obvious exits are NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, and WEST.
set /p input=What doest thou deau?
if %input%== look tree goto grovetree
:grovetree
cls
echo Thou see yon TREE in thy middle of thy grove, it smells faintly of PARAPETS. CHARLIE is hanging from one of the branches, he is holding a SWORD, magestically posing with his hands at his hips.
echo.
set /p input=What doest thou deau?

well, i just tried that, but it didn't work, (if it changes anything, i have vista 64bit [but i doubt it does])
This was my test script.

echo off
cls
set /p input="Input?"
if "%input%"=="with space" goto a
echo You did not enter 'with space'
goto end
:a
echo You entered 'with space'
:end
and it did what it should do if I executed it from the command prompt.
How does it work with you?

well i just copied ur script and saved it as .bat and ran it, it shows up as input? and then when i type in: with space it just shuts itself off.
If you look at the logic ...

you'll see that it always should pass one of the echo-commands. So you should see something.

Take some time, investigate python, basic, perl, vbscript or almost anything else then just shell script.
