There are many ways to make menus with a batch script. This depends on how you want the menu to look and the user to interact with it. If you want a text based menu, that would probably be the easiest for you to make and can be done strictly with batch commands. If you want a windows menu popup that a user can click a selection, it's a bit more complicated because it requires the use of VBS (Visual Basic Script).
- Example 1: (MS DOS Only)
But here is a short example that should get you started. Note: you could get a copy of choice.exe from the FreeDOS project and use it instead if you don't have the original choice.com file.
@echo off
Echo Item 1
Echo Item 2
Echo Item 3
Choice Option: /c:123
If errorlevel 3 goto Item3
If errorlevel 2 goto Item2
If errorlevel 1 goto Item1
goto EOF
:Item1
CLS
Echo You chose "Item 1".
Pause
goto EOF
:Item2
CLS
Echo You chose "Item 2".
Pause
goto EOF
:Item3
CLS
Echo You chose "Item 3".
Pause
goto EOF
:EOF
- Example 2: (Without the Choice Command)
@echo off
Echo Item 1
Echo Item 2
Echo Item 3
set /p Item=Choose:
if %item% EQU 1 goto Item1
if %item% EQU 2 goto Item2
if %item% EQU 3 goto Item3
goto :EOF
:Item1
cls
echo You chose "Item 1".
pause
goto :EOF
:Item2
cls
echo You chose "Item 2".
pause
goto :EOF
:Item3
cls
echo You chose "Item 3".
pause
goto :EOF
