Everyone:
Does anyone know what can be used under XP to replace the CHOICE command? I wrote a batch file and need to use CHOICE. It passed testing under WIN2003. But I ran into trouble on the LAN, because quite a large number of the machines are XP.
Could someone help me out? Thanks!

You can consider using SET /P
set /p select=Please enter your selection:
if "%select%"=="1" command
if "%select%"=="2" command

To the expert in reply #2, if something other than 1 or 2 is entered, then it won't be easy to control. What should be done?

Reply #2, thanks, you gave me an idea. I wrote one, and now the main problem is that it can't make a default selection. Please help me think of a solution, thanks.

@echo off
set /p select=Please enter your selection:

if "%select%"=="1" (goto 1) else (goto 2)

:1
command
goto end

:2
if "%select%"=="2" (command) else (goto end)

:end
pause

@echo off

:choose

set /p select=Please enter your selection:

if "%select%"=="1" echo Select 1 && goto tag

if "%select%"=="2" echo Select 2 && goto tag

::The following is the default option pressing Enter directly means the default selection
if "%select%"=="" echo Default selection && goto tag

cls

echo *************WRONG　INPUT**********

goto choose

:tag

pause

Can it be like choice, where you set a time and if no key is pressed it automatically goes to the default selection?
