Hello all I have been working on changing menu display with on this batch file. I found this open source batch file online. The only thing I want to change is the display of those menus. as currently it get display as in the attached picture. http://xs132.xs.to/xs132/08413/batc... I would like them to be in order 1. Home 2. School 3 Exit and so on, as it will make it easy to understand and use. I tried to make so many changes to get it to work the way I wanted but no luck :( Kindly requesting assistance. Batch file ========================================== @echo off title Eric Burcham's IP Configuration Batch File - 2005 setlocal set OK=N :again set /p choice=Please enter 1[Home], 2[School] or END ?? if /i [%choice%]==[END] endlocal&goto end if [%choice%]==[] goto again if [%choice%]==[1] goto 1 if [%choice%]==[2] goto 2 set /p xxx=wrong entry, press any key to exit. endlocal goto end :1 echo NIC setting for Home being configured..... @netsh exec home.txt set /p see=IP changed successfully to Home Settings [9]see new setting [Enter]exit... if [%see%]==[9] goto show echo Ending IP Configuration goto end :2 echo NIC setting for School being configured..... @netsh exec school.txt set /p see=IP changed successfully to School Settings [9]see new setting [Enter]exit... if [%see%]==[9] goto show echo Ending IP Configuration goto end :show @netsh int ip show config :end @echo on cls ==========================================

This is an easy fix. Replace the top section with this :again echo 1. Home echo 2. School echo 3. End set /p choice= if [%choice%]==[] goto again if [%choice%]==[1] goto 1 if [%choice%]==[2] goto 2 if [%choice%]==[3] goto end goto again This will write each option to it's own line, and if 1, 2, or 3 isn't entered it will ask again. Let me know how it works, haven't helped to many people here but this was simple.

omg .. it did work :) Thanks a lot you saved me lots of trouble. I truly thank you, I took batch file crash course back in college and I watched batch files training videos .. but sometime there are those simple things will annoy you .. anyways.. Thanks again :D

glad I could help. This is one of those types of examples i keep a copy of and paste it in when I need to make a selection. in fact I'll add this to my how to tutorial.

FWIW you can simplify your code: [1] no need to endlocal before exit; it ends by itself [2] same goes for echo on [3] instead of multiple IF tests, try something like: ========================================= @echo off setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion echo 1 do this echo 2 do that echo ENTER to quit set /p c= pick one if !c!'==' goto :eof goto :!c! :1 echo here's 1 goto :eof :2 echo here's 2 goto :eof ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.
