I've been making batch file shortcuts to my dos games in dosbox, and I want to make a batch file for doom 2 that asks you if you want to open doom 2, or open the setup file by typing either 1 or 2. How would I do that?
I tried asking ChatGPT for the batch file code to do that (See below), but it just opens doom 2 regardless of input. I have barely any experience in batch file coding, so I have no idea what I'm doing wrong here.
@echo off
echo Select a file to open:
echo 1. DOOM2.EXE
echo 2. SETUP.EXE
set /p choice=Enter your choice (1-2):
pause
if "%choice%"=="1" (
DOOM2.bat
) else if "%choice%"=="2" (
SETDOM2.bat
pause
) else (
echo Invalid choice. Exiting...
pause
exit /b
)
Display a menu with echo and wait for the user's response via the choice command that sets the errorlevel. It is important that these errorlevels get interrogated from high to low:
@echo off
echo Make selection (press # and ENTER)
echo ==================================
echo 1. DOOM2.EXE
echo 2. SETUP.EXE
echo 3. EXIT MENU
choice /c123
if errorlevel 3 goto exit
if errorlevel 2 goto setup
if errorlevel 1 goto play
:play
call DOOM2.bat
goto exit
:setup
call SETDOM2.bat
:exit
echo .
This was tested in DOSBox 0.74 just now.
