Re: Menu?

Sorry misunderstood how to use the files.

Now all I get is bad command or file name displayed continously.

Running it with the 'command /y /k gives '

It goes throuigh every line once then displays :-

[a] 08thes~1.txt
[Y/N]?nu1 1 09sata~1.txt  (on pressing Y the nu changes toYu)
echo off [Y/N]?Y
if [1]==[1] goto :sub1 [Y/N]?Y
goto :sub1 [Y/N]
set m=09sata~1.txt [Y/N]?Y
_2.bat [Y/N]?Y
Y [Y/N]?Y
Bad command or file name
set n=b [Y/N]?Y
menu1 2 [Y/N]?Y
echo off [Y/N]?Y

then runs through every line again until it comes to that line 'Y [Y/N]? 
then gives bad command or file name.

Thanks


Rick
