I am making a test in notepad and saving it as a batch file to use. I haven't had any problem writing and testing up until now. I was fixing all the problems in the file in Notepad. I saved often and tested every time I saved. Now I can't test the file. When I first try and open it up, I get an error that says "The Syntax of the Command is Incorrect." I don't know what the heck I did wrong. Could someone please look at this part of the file? This is all that I edited before the last save.

@echo off
:D
cls
echo.
echo __________________________
echo | _____ |
echo || | ***** / |

echo Welcome to WEC's test by WEC
echo Do you wish to play this game?
echo.
echo Yes or No?
echo.
set input=
set /p input=Please type in a for Yes or b for No and press "Enter".
if %input%==a goto Y
if %input%==b goto N

I added the big "WEC" sign before this happened. If I need to post more of the file, just say so.

Step 1: Remove @ECHO OFF. Then you'll know where your error was. Actually, 75% - 80% of my scripts never turn ECHO off.

In this case, replace | with ^|.
