I need a batch file where a user enters a password and if it is correct it maps a drive. If it is wrong then it needs to go back to the start
I have this
:start
echo Username=****
SET /P password=Please enter the password
IF %password%==password goto map
IF %password%!==!password goto start
:map
NET USE Z: \\server\folder
It works if the password entered is correct, but doesnt if it is wrong
Any help?
That's because the check
if %password%!==!password
can never be true. if compares two strings to each side of the ==. Ask yourself whether that condition can ever be true ;-)
You probably want
if %password%==password goto map
goto start
instead. The goto map skips the next line, so it won't be executed and if the condition was false it will return to start.
Another option is
if %password%==password (goto map) else (goto start)
which is probably more familiar to programmers accustomed to structured programming.
One word of caution: You should normally quote your strings to be checked to guard against spaces in the input:
if "%password%"=="password" ...
You don't need IF %password%!==!password goto start altogether. If the password is ok, then goto map, otherwise goto start. That is if you replace IF %password%!==!password goto start with goto start you'll get what you want.
@echo off
color 02
set num1=0
set num2=1
set terminator=5
:loop
set /a num1= %num1% + %num2%
if %num1%==%terminator% goto close
goto open
:close
echo %num1%
pause
exit
:open
echo %num1%
goto loop
try this code num1 is the number to be incremented and num2 is the value added to num1 and terminator is the value where the num1 will end you can indicate different value for terminator in this statement (if %num1%==%terminator% goto close) this is the boolean expression goto close is the process if the boolean is true and goto open is the process if the boolean is false you can only understand this if you are a programmer
please vote if you understand this codes
save it in a file name with .bat extension
