Multiple choices menu on batch file?

Question

Hi I want to make a batch file menu, that asks \'Select app you want to install?\' for example

1. App1
2. App2
3. App3
4. App4
5. App5

Answer 1

There is actually an extremely easy way to do this.

@echo off
echo Which app do you want to install?
echo [APP 1]
echo [APP 2]
echo [APP 3]
echo.
echo Type 1, 2, or 3.
set /p "AppInstaller=>"
if %AppInstaller%==1 goto 1
if %AppInstaller%==2 goto 2
if %AppInstaller%==3 goto 3
:1
[INSTALL CODE]
:2
[INSTALL CODE]
:3
[INSTALL CODE]

The menu, when coded like this, will look like this:

Which app do you want to install?
[APP 1]
[APP 2]
[APP 3]

Type 1, 2, or 3.

The code sets the variable AppInstaller to 1, 2, or 3. The file determines this and redirects you to an installer for each one.
