change this:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;Echo.set /p var1:&quot;questestion?&quot; &gt;&gt;&nbsp;c:\temp.bat<br />
<br />
to this:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;Echo.set /p var1=&quot;questestion?&quot; &gt;&gt;&nbsp;c:\temp.bat<br />

change this:

   Echo.set /p var1:"questestion?" >> c:\temp.bat

to this:

   Echo.set /p var1="questestion?" >> c:\temp.bat

That's one problem...<br />
<br />
And to answer your question, use the escape character and don't use a colon in the gotos.<br />
<br />
echo. /i &quot;^%var1^%&quot;==&quot;answer&quot; (goto net) &gt;&gt;&nbsp;c:\temp.bat
</div>

echo. /i "^%var1^%"=="answer" (goto net) >> c:\temp.bat

leew, I thought that would be correct, but it doesn't appear to work:<br />
<br />
&nbsp;/i &quot;^&quot;==&quot;answer&quot; (goto net)<br />
<br />

Append variables from one BATCH to another.

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.

Windows Batch

Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS-DOS) was an operating system for x86-based personal computers, and traces of it are still found in the Windows operating system. DOS is still used in some embedded systems and for certain legacy 16-bit networks.
