Alternatives to CHOICES in batch file?

[marcorocchini]

Hi.

I'm a cat

please patient thanks

if "%necessariaMask%"=="1" echo suggest masking antialiasing ON
if "%necessariaMask%"=="0" echo suggest masking antialiasing OFF


echo.
echo Press M for maskinkg ON
echo.
echo Press N for masking OFF
echo.


CHOICE /t 1 /d 3 /N /C:MN345 /M "press (M) or (N)"


 if not errorlevel==3 if errorlevel==2 set "necessariaMask=0" & timeout /t 2
 if not errorlevel==2 if errorlevel==1 set "necessariaMask=1" & timeout /t 2
 if not errorlevel==1 if errorlevel==0 echo The choice was interrupted (0)


if "%necessariaMask%"=="1" echo masking now ON
if "%necessariaMask%"=="0" echo masking now OFF

But this is not working alwais ok, sometimes there seems to be an unusually longer wait.

Is there an alternative?

[_Al_]

CHOICE  /N /C MN /M "press M or N"
if errorlevel==1 (
    set "necessariaMask=1"
    echo masking now ON
) else if errorlevel==1 (
    set "necessariaMask=0"
    echo masking now OFF
)

without timeout, so you fill it in if needed
