Issue
Posted: 01 May 2010 18:52
Hi, there.
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:
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!!
