That is my be silly an old question but I do not know how to use the

shift batch command in expanding options of choices more than 9

options.

 

:Main_Menu

@cls

@echo off

@echo Returned Envelops Script

@echo --------------------------

@echo.

@echo.

@echo 1-ID Entry to a single file

@echo.

@echo 2-Check/Delete ID duplication in a single

@echo.

@echo 3-Check ID Entry in ALL Sorted Files

@echo.

@echo 4-Sort/create And Print Sorted Files

@echo.

@echo 5-Count Envelops Entries in a sorted date

@echo.

@echo 6-Search Double Entries by Customer Number

@echo.

@echo 7-Search Entry by Customer Number

@echo.

@echo 8-Search Entry by Account

@echo.

@echo 9-Exit

@echo.

%binaries%\choice /C:987654321 Choose an

option ?

 

@if errorlevel 9 call return_entry

If there are 3 arguments to a command CMD %1 %2 %3

%1 = FIRST

%2 = SECOND

%3 = THIRD

and you do a shift

I think

%1 = SECOND

%2 = THIRD

and there is not %3

As others have pointed out, the Shift command does not come

into this. It is only used when processing command line parameters.

 

You could tighten your current code like so:

 

%binaries%\choice /C:987654321 Choose an option ?

call Sub%ErrorLevel%

 

To make it work, you must manually rename your subroutines like so:

return_entry.bat = sub9.bat

return_double.bat = sub8.bat

etc.

with option 16 I should use 2 numbers which is 19 accoding to Hex

system . Please How can I use shift to exceed numbers as far as I want

as to for example 40 options ?

Is there a way to exceed options other than shift command .

Since you also posted to microsoft.public.windowsxp.general besides

alt.msdos.batch (which is about MS-DOS+Win../95/98/Me) I take it

your OS is XP.

 

40} How to get the number of and parse the arguments given to a script?

I can't see any benefit in prefixing all lines with @ - just set it once

with the top "@echo off"

"choice" allows for any of the "any" keys to be entered, not just

numbers. "set /P" is the replacement in XP.

> @if errorlevel 9 call return_entry

if any of your subroutines set an errorlevel you may find unwanted extra

calls - in this case I think it sensible to use "goto"s. Each of these

sections then end with "goto Main_Menu"

As others have hinted "shift" doesn't help with this kind of problem.

My approach is to subdivide into submenus all with <=9 options, with 0

as the goback up/exit option

A few matters to get out of the way before this whole discussion goes off

the rails:

 

1. SHIFT has nothing to do with the CHOICE command. The variables "%1" to

"%9" refer to the FIRST to NINTH parameters supplied to the batch file. If

there are more than 9, you may use SHIFT to drop the first parameter, and

thereafter %1 refer to the second...%9 refers to the tenth. Use SHIFT as

many times as are required to shffle the parameters along to the

"accessible" range.

 

2. The line

 

@echo off

 

makes further use of a leading "@" redundant. It turns command-echo OFF

unless it is specifically turned back ON again by a command

 

ECHO ON

 

3. Hex has nothing to do with the discussion. The syntax of IF ERRORLEVEL

requires DECIMAL.

 

 

So - to add more options the easy way:

a) Reverse the CHOICES string. ERRORLEVEL is set up as the position number

within this string of the key used. Lot easier if "1" is first, "2" second

and so on.

 

Hence:

 

%binaries%\choice /C:123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ Choose an

option ?

 

This will give you up to 36 choices.

 

if errorlevel 36 optionZ

if errorlevel 35 optionY

....

if errorlevel 2 option2

if errorlevel 1 option1

 

 

If you need more than 36 choices, either add symbols to the list (# or $ ,

etc) or use lower-case as well, where you'd have to add the "/S" switch to

CHOICE

 

%binaries%\choice /S /C:123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ#$abc Choose

an option ?

 

if errorlevel 41 lowerc

if errorlevel 40 lowerb

if errorlevel 39 lowera

if errorlevel 38 dollar

if errorlevel 37 hash

if errorlevel 36 optionZ

if errorlevel 35 optionY

 

And a further caution:

 

Your

 

if errorlevel nn CALL something

 

is not incorrect BUT when "something" is executed, it will leave ERRORLEVEL

set to some value. It is likely that this would be zero, but if it is not,

you may get unexpected results.

 

For instance:

 

if errorlevel 32 call OPTION32

....

 

where OPTION32.BAT contains

 

--------OPTION32.BAT starts -------------

@echo off

.....

find "x" result.txt>nul

if not errorlevel 1 echo We found x in result.txt

--------OPTION32.BAT ends -------------

 

Under these circumstances, when OPTION32.BAT returns, if "x" was NOT found

in result.txt then ERRORLEVEL will be 1, so the CHOICE line for errorlevel 1

will be executed.

 

 

There are two common solutions to this:

 

1) program YOURMENU.BAT as

 

....

if errorlevel 41 lowerc

if errorlevel 40 lowerb

....

 

then have each of your submenu files (lowerc.bat, lowerb.bat etc.) execute

 

YOURMENU

 

as the final command.

 

2) program within YOURMENU.BAT

 

@echo off

....

:again

choice.....

if errorlevel 41 goto lowerc

if errorlevel 40 goto lowerb

....

 

:lowerb

....

goto again

 

:lowerc

....

goto again

 

although this method would tend to be very clumsy indeed as many people

would be tempted to put all of the code for all of the options within this

one file.

 

Of course, you could also try using the MENU command - but it's been so long

since I went anywhere near that, I'm not going to attempt a MENU solution...

Why not set a time out for the second choice? This way you can,

like with a TV remote control, enter one digit numbers or within

2 second two digit numbers.

Does this work?
