Ok guys, I'm gonna cry soon. I've tried this for a long time. And i know theres gonna be an easy solution & it's gonna be so simple.. I just can't figure it out. Right i'll try keep it simple. I'm creating a fake hacking simulation game in batch. I have a "connect" command and a "netstat" command. I want the user to type connect first, so they connect to something. Then they will have to use the Netstat command to view IP's and ports. But the user can completely skip the connect part and go straight into netstat and view the IP. I want it so if they type Netstat, it displays some IP's And ONLY when they connect. It displays those IP's but with an added IP (which will be the IP that they connected too) so it simulates how to gain the IP of a website. I know it's not real...No comments about it, it's just a game i'm creating. My idea is, When someone does the command to connect to a website. It sets some variable. Then when they do the Netstat command, it checks to see if that variable has been set. I tried this but i couldn't get it to work. Hope you guys have some ideas. Sorry if it makes no sence, It's really hard to explain what i want. *************************** Need BatchFile Help ? Msg me :) ***************************

In your connect routine add set connectcheck=1 Then as the first portion of your netstat routine add IF %connectcheck% NEQ 1 goto connecterror Add a connecterror variable that says something like :connecterror Echo No current network connection - please check your network connection GOTO Connect A little hard to be sure this lines up with what you're doing without actually seeing the code, but this should hopefully get you where you're trying to get.

Thanks, i shall try this. This is something i've never come across before so i shall try it. Thanks for the help! *************************** Need BatchFile Help ? Msg me :) ***************************

Ok. so i have added that code. If i type Connect-www.fakeomail.com It works, Then when i type Netstat It goes to NETSTAT and displays what i want it to display. If i run the batch file again, but this time NOT connect first. I type Netstat the program just quits. My guess is that its checking the variable that hasn't been set yet. So it's checking basically..Nothing, I'm messing around with it currently, any help will be grateful.

I think you're probably spot on with your guess, in that case - let's set the connectcheck variable before we do anything else. :PRESET Set connectcheck=0 :MISSION1START echo **************** echo * Hack-o-matic * echo **************** echo.

That looks promising now! I'll try it Tomorrow. Thanks for that help m8 ! *************************** Need BatchFile Help ? Msg me :) ***************************
