An odd question

[DOSNEWB]

Hey guys, as the title says I have an odd if not confusing question for you all.

I'm writing a .bat file for a friend that wants to screw with another friend for his birthday (I know...we're nerds XD)

But I want the computer to spit out one line of txt if I put one phrase into command prompt and something completly different if I put another thing into command prompt.

How do I specify what I want it to say?? I'm gonna just bs the actual codes but im wanting it to say something like:

if (response)=="morning" goto B
if (response)=="Afternoon" goto C
:B
echo Good Morning
:C
echo Good Afternoon


i dunno if I explained it well enough but its the best I can do without attaching the actual files and stuff

Code: [Select]

@echo off
set /p response=
if /I '%response%'=='morning' goto B
if /I '%response%'=='Afternoon' goto C
:B
echo Good Morning
pause
exit

:C
echo Good Afternoon
pause
exit
try that

okay, thanks, can I use 'response' and ' if /I ' through out the whole thing or do I have to change it up each time?

[DOSNEWB]

or is there any way that I can set it so that if 'response' doesn't equal any of the above, to display something? would I just seperate them with commas or what?
