Why doesn't this code work?
Code: Select all
@echo off
cls
title Java Code Generator
echo An example of an item number would be: 995
set /p itemNumber =Please type the item number here:
pause
echo The number of items can range from 1 to 999999999 in most cases.
set /p numberOfItem =Please type the number of that item here:
echo addItem(%itemNumber%,%numberOfItem%) > AddItemCode.txt
pause
cls
echo Your code has been place in a .txt file named AddItemCode.txt. You will find this file in the directory this program is in.
pause
exit
when you open the file makes it only prints out the addItem(,)

No,what !k said is, that it these two lines are different
Code: Select all
set /p itemNumber=Please type the item number here:
set /p itemNumber =Please type the item number here:
If you place a space between the itemNumber and the equal sign the name of the variable will be "itemNumber ", and that's why your echo failed
Code: Select all
echo %itemNumber% is empty
echo %itemNumber % should work
