If...Then Not Working

[MikeInThe901]

The code below works to set a variable CLetter based on the first letter of a new customer last name, input from the keyboard, if the first letter is 'A'. I need it to compare for A-J, not just A.

@echo off
setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION

set /p CName="Please enter new customer as LastName, FirstName: "
set CLetter=%CName:~0,1%

if "%CLetter%"=="A" (
set CGroup=Client Files A-J
) else (
set CGroup=Client Files K-Z
)

echo %CGroup%
pause

Code: Select all

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

set "StrAJ=ABCDEFGHIJ"
set /p CName="Please enter new customer as LastName, FirstName: "
set "CLetter=%CName:~0,1%"

if "!StrAJ:%CLetter%=!" neq "!StrAJ!" (
    set "CGroup=Client Files A-J"
) else (
    set "CGroup=Client Files K-Z"
)

echo,%CGroup%
pause

if not errorlevel 1 (
    set "CGroup=Client Files A-J"
) else (
    set "CGroup=Client Files K-Z"
)

echo,%CGroup%
pause
