ASK
Purpose: This command allows the user to set the BATCH
environment ERRORLEVELS interactively.
Format: ASK [prompt line]
Type: Internal External
***
Remarks: This command is designed to be used interactively.
It allows the user some input into the BATCH
environment. The 'prompt line' parameter is
optional.
Example: ASK Do you want to go to PAS2? (Y/N)
This command accepts a single character from
the user and sets ERRORLEVEL based on whether
Y (or y) or N (or n) was entered.
Y or y will set ERRORLEVEL to 0
N or n will set ERRORLEVEL to 1
Any other answer will cause "Y or N?" to echo
ASK
Displays 'Press Y or N ' on the console and
waits for a keypress.
(Sample BATCH file)
ASK
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO PRESSEDNO
ECHO You pressed Y or y.
GOTO end
:PRESSEDNO
ECHO You pressed N or n
:end
NOTES: ASK.COM accepts only Y, y, N, or n as a
response in this version. (For more elaborate
control, see INPUT.COM.)
