HI All, I have a .Bat script,which gets the file from source system to target system. I want to add some lines which will prompt for the user input....say after it gets the file from source to target it has to prompt check the files in server\dir\abc and enable the recovery (y/n)- the user should type y or n... what ever he types either Y or n it has to continue the remaining script. The prompting is just to inform the user that recovery should be enabled.. how can i add this in my .Bat script Thanks, NagendreG

This is my way:- Change the ?????? for your statements and GOTO's :Loop echo. echo ???????? echo. echo ????????? echo. :: SET /P prompts for input and sets the variable :: to whatever the user types SET Choice= SET /P Choice= TYPE THE LETTER AND PRESS ENTER: -^> cls IF NOT '%Choice%'=='' SET Choice=%Choice% :: /I makes the IF comparison case-insensitive IF /I '%Choice%'=='y' GOTO :????? IF /I '%Choice%'=='n' GOTO :??????? echo "%Choice%" IS NOT VALID. PLEASE TRY AGAIN echo. GOTO :Loop cls

@echo off :start cls set /p input=Check the files in server\dir\abc and enable the recovery (y/n)?: if /i "%input%" equ "y" goto :RecoveryEnabled if /i "%input%" equ "n" goto :next echo Invalid choice & pause & goto start :RecoveryEnabled echo Recovery enabled ::Enable recovery commands here pause exit :next echo Recovery not enabled pause exit
