If statement problem

[Cander]

I just figured out that it's some strange with this...

This works as long you don't use spaces or like semicolon etc in the variable. Then the batch crash and I don't know why...

Code: Select all

@echo off
Set /p connect=Users IP Address/computername:
IF /i %connect%==end (
GOTO END
) ELSE (
echo %connect%
pause
GOTO VERYEND
)

:END
pause

:VERYEND

What I'm doing wrong? It feel like I have done this before and got it working...

EDIT: Oh, is screws up when it trying to compare if the variable contains multiple words. Puting " " around the %connect% simply solved the problem, because the connect variable may sometimes contain multiple words depending on what the user put into it. Got to always keep that then... Nervermind.

Code: Select all

@echo off
Set /p connect=Type anything:
IF /i "%connect%"==end (
GOTO END
) ELSE (
echo %connect%
pause
GOTO VERYEND
)

:END
pause

:VERYEND

Cander,

I think you also need quotes around the "end".
Short:

Code: Select all

@echo off
Set /p connect=Type anything:
IF /i "%connect%"=="end" pause&goto:eof
echo %connect%
pause

right?
