Hello,

I want to create a menu with 4 choices.
I found on previous post the way to do so,
but I want to exit the batch file if 5seconds passed without pressing a key. Is it possible?

thanks a lot

There is no way to have a menu and a timeout. You can however have a timeout using ping, but it will not work with a menu. The following code will add a menu to your script with 4 options. Be sure to add your code under each label.

::==menu.bat
@echo off
for %%i in (1 2 3 4) do echo Choice %%i
echo Enter Choice:
set /p choice=
for %%a in (1 2 3 4) do (
if "%choice%"=="%%a" goto choice%%a
)

:choice1
::your code goes here

:choice2
::your code goes here

:choice3
::your code goes here

:choice4
::your code goes here

@echo off
setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion

echo choose a menu item : 1 2 3 4
choice /c12345 /t5,5 /n
goto :%errorlevel%
:1
echo choice 1 & goto :eof
:2
echo choice 2 & goto :eof
:3
echo choice 3 & goto :eof
:4
echo choice 4 & goto :eof
:5

If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.
