Batch to Run 3 Programs

[EchoLdrWolf316]

So This?:

Code: [Select]

@echo off
Choice /M "Do You Want To Run Mac Look-Alike Programs?"

If %errorlevel% EQU 2 goto no
If %errorlevel% EQU 1 goto yes


:yes
start "" "C:\Program Files\Mioplanet Battery Meter\Mioplanet Battery Meter.exe"
start "" "C:\Program Files\Pixoria\Konfabulator\YahooWidgets.exe"
start "" "C:\Program Files\Stardock\ObjectDock\ObjectDock.exe"
exit

:no
exit

That way it doesn't matter what order

Code: [Select]

If %errorlevel% EQU 2 goto no
and

Code: [Select]

If %errorlevel% EQU 1 goto yes are in?

You got it.

But I don't know what the /M switch does in CHOICE.EXE. My version does not have it.

[EchoLdrWolf316]

You got it.

But I don't know what the /M switch does in CHOICE.EXE. My version does not have it.

Code: [Select]

choice /m "What Is Your Choice?"
/m must come after CHOICE to indicate that the passage in quotes is the displayed message according to my system ( Vista Home Premium )

[Dias de verano]

It has changed then. I have the Windows 98 choice.exe

Code: [Select]

CHOICE [/C[:]choices] [/N] [/S] [/T[:]c,nn] [text]
This is Vista choice.exe option text

Code: [Select]

CHOICE [/C choices] [/N] [/CS] [/T timeout /D choice] [/M text]

[EchoLdrWolf316]

ah, yes WIn98 Choice command needs no /m

Here is another way you can start your 3 programs




@ECHO off
cls

:start
ECHO.
ECHO Y. Start Programs
ECHO N. Exit
set choice=
set /p choice=Type Y or N to run programs or exit.
if not '%choice%'=='' set choice=%choice:~0,1%
if '%choice%'=='y' goto progrun
if '%choice%'=='n' goto bye
ECHO "%choice%" is not valid please try again
ECHO.
goto start

:progrun
start "" "C:\Program Files\Mioplanet Battery Meter\Mioplanet Battery Meter.exe"
start "" "C:\Program Files\Pixoria\Konfabulator\YahooWidgets.exe"
start "" "C:\Program Files\Stardock\ObjectDock\ObjectDock.exe"
goto end

:bye
ECHO BYE
goto end

:end

That code works perfect also,  but I have also edited the other code a bit.

Code: [Select]

@echo off
title Macilizer
echo Macilizer starting...
ping -n 1 -w 2000 1.1.1.1 >nul
echo Initializing...
ping -n 1 -w 500 1.1.1.1 >nul
Choice /M "Do You Want To Run Mac Look-Alike Programs?"

If %errorlevel% EQU 2 goto no
If %errorlevel% EQU 1 goto yes

:yes
echo Starting Battery Meter
ping -n 1 -w 2000 1.1.1.1 >nul
start "" "C:\Program Files\Mioplanet Battery Meter\Mioplanet Battery Meter.exe"

echo Starting Konfablator
ping -n 1 -w 2000 1.1.1.1 >nul
start "" "C:\Program

echo Starting Object Dock
ping -n 1 -w 2000 1.1.1.1 >nul
start "" "C:\Program Files\Stardock\ObjectDock\ObjectDock.exe"

ping -n 1 -w 2000 1.1.1.1 >nul
echo Exiting....
ping -n 1 -w 2000 1.1.1.1 >nul
exit

:no
echo Exiting....
ping -n 1 -w 2000 1.1.1.1 >nul
exit
