Batch: if %username%=something...

Comment:

Hi How can I compare a variable to a string of text in a batch script? What I mean, exactly is this: if %username%="cup cakes" then goto begin What I mean is "if username is 'cup cakes' then goto begin" But I don't know how to do this.. is there something I'm doing wrong?

Hi You were nearly there. Note the surrounding quotes and the double equal signs. if "%username%"=="cup cakes" goto begin

When I do that, it says the following on execution: (script works normally) cakes"=="cup cakes" was unexpected at this time any ideas? Also, "cup cakes" is an example, the real two words are only letters also.
