Equal operator is not working in a bat script

[rnara]

Hi,

I have the following code in a bat script. It is always going to the "applied" label even though the numbers are not equal. Please let me know if I'm doing anything wrong. Thanks!

Code: Select all

@echo off

set KNO=3176483

if %KNO% ==3176493 goto applied

:applied
echo #############################
echo Windows Fix Patch is applied
echo #############################

Batch files are sequential processing. It processes line by line. You are not branching away from it executing the code when it is not equal. You need another GOTO for when it is not equal to skip over the :APPLIED code.

Like Squash said, try this:

Code: Select all

@echo off

set KNO=3176483

if %KNO% ==3176493 (
   echo #############################
   echo Windows Fix Patch is applied
   echo #############################
) else (
   goto:continue
)

pause

:continue
echo Numbers are not equal

pause

Here's some ideas for you.

either:

Code: Select all

@Echo Off
Set KNO=3176483
If %KNO%==3176493 GoTo :Applied
GoTo: NotApplied

:Applied
Echo=#############################
Echo=Windows Fix Patch is applied
Echo=#############################
GoTo :AnotherLabel

:NotApplied
REM more code here

or:

Code: Select all

@Echo Off
Set KNO=3176483
If Not %KNO%==3176493 GoTo :NotApplied

:Applied
Echo=#############################
Echo=Windows Fix Patch is applied
Echo=#############################

:NotApplied
REM more code here

or:

Code: Select all

@Echo Off
Set KNO=3176483
If %KNO%==3176493 Call :Applied
REM more code here
Exit/B

:Applied
Echo=#############################
Echo=Windows Fix Patch is applied
Echo=#############################
GoTo :EOF
