I am trying to make a chat in batch language, which I'm almost done.
But there's an issue: whenever I run the file, it asks me twice the same choice (choice made by me).
Here is the full code:
@echo off
Cls
Set LINE=0
For /F "delims=" %%L in (Settings.ini) do (
Set /A LINE += 1
If "!LINE!" == "4" (
Set STR=%%L
Echo.!STR:~11!> %TEMP%.\T1.DAT
Findstr /I /B /C:" " %TEMP%.\T1.DAT > nul
Del %TEMP%.\T1.DAT
)
If /I !STR:~11!==red set bc=C
If /I !STR:~11!==green set bc=A
If /I !STR:~11!==blue set bc=9
If /I !STR:~11!==yellow set bc=E
If /I !STR:~11!==black set bc=0
If /I !STR:~11!==white set bc=F
)
Cls
Set LINE=0
For /F "delims=" %%L in (Settings.ini) do (
Set /A LINE += 1
If "!LINE!" == "3" (
Set STR=%%L
Echo.!STR:~11!> %TEMP%.\T1.DAT
Findstr /I /B /C:" " %TEMP%.\T1.DAT > nul
Del %TEMP%.\T1.DAT
)
If /I !STR:~11!==red set fc=C
If /I !STR:~11!==green set fc=A
If /I !STR:~11!==blue set fc=9
If /I !STR:~11!==yellow set fc=E
If /I !STR:~11!==black set fc=0
If /I !STR:~11!==white set fc=F
)
If not defined bc set bc=0
If not defined fc set fc=C
Color %bc%%fc%

Thank you in advance.
EDIT:
I just discovered now that if the file Settings.ini doesn't exist, it doesn't asks me to choice twice.
Maybe try to create a file named Settings.ini in the same folder and see if it works.
. I'm still working on why it shows the message twice... maybe it can't handle the input on the first time... I'll get back to you!!
