Is that possible? To create a function e.g. FUNC1 which is getting evaluated several times in the script - and after evaluation the program continues on the same position where the function was called? E.g.:
echo test
call :FUNC1
echo test2:FUNC1
echo In function
echo want to go back nowNow I want to continue at test2 (next command should be echo test2) without creating another label before "echo test2" as I need to call the method several times in the script, not only once!
Thanks for your help!
You have answered your question by yourself. What you posted is exactly how functions/procedures need to be coded in a batch script. Code the subroutines at the end of your script and end each one by a goto :EOF the RETURN statement for batch. More you can pass arguments to subroutines and refer to those by %1 %2 and so on. E.G.
echo test call :FUNC1 ALPHA BETA echo test2 goto :EOF [Return to OS] :FUNC1 echo In function FUNC1 %1 %2 echo want to go back now goto :EOF [Return to Main]
Thanks a lot, that worked out perfectly fine! :)
I assume that in case I add an exit /B 1 in the function that the program continues where I called the function and have errorlevel 1 there? Or will it quit immediately?
As you correctly said the program returns to the statement following the call and sets the ErrorLevel. The exit /B [errorlevel] is just an alternate RETURN statement instead of goto :EOF.
