Shutdown Batch file?

[lil rahmer]

@echo off
C:
set choice=
set /p choice=Do you wish to continue?
If %choice%==no GOTO SHUTDOWN
If %choice%==yes GOTO next
:next
echo It didn't work
exit
:SHUTDOWN
set choice=
set /p choice=Your computer is about to shutdown.Do you wish to continue?
If %choice%==no shutdown -a
If %choice%==yes shutdown -s -t:90
pause
exit


That is my first batch file. Ive been having some problems with it looping. It will ask eache question over and over and over again. If someone could tell me how to fix it that would be great. I use windows xp. Thanks

(p.s. if anyone has some good sites that tell how to create batch files please post)

Try this and note that your choice of Y or N is case sensitive.

@echo off
CLS
:start
cls
set choice1=
set /p choice1=Do you wish to continue? (Y or N)
IF NOT '%choice1%'=='' set choice1=%choice1:~0,1%
If '%choice1%'=='N' goto end
If '%choice1%'=='Y' goto Next
cls
ECHO "%choice1%" is not valid please try again
ECHO.
pause
goto start
:Next
cls
set choice2=
set /p choice2=Your computer is about to shutdown.Do you wish to continue? (Y or N)
IF NOT '%choice2%'=='' set choice2=%choice2:~0,1%
If '%choice2%'=='N' shutdown -a
If '%choice2%'=='Y' shutdown -s -t:90
cls
ECHO "%choice2%" is not valid please try again
pause
goto Next
ECHO.
:end
exit
