Using Goto

Introduction#

Goto Is simple. By using simple goto statements, you can move anywhere you want to in your code. It can be also used to make functions (Showed in how to make functions).

Syntax#

• goto :Label
• goto Label
• goto :EOF

Parameters#

So in other words, if the number the player inserted is 1, it’ll go back to the :Name part of the code.

so if the input is equal to 1, go back to the line with :Name

Make Sure if you use this, the word begins with the Colen (:).

Example Programs

For Example:

echo Hello!
pause >nul
:Name
echo What Is Your Name
set /p Input=Name: 
echo so %Input% Is Your Name, right?
echo Rename?
echo 1 For Yes
echo 2 For No
set /p Input=Rename:
if %Input%=1 goto Name

Another Example:

@echo off
echo 1 or 2?
set /p input=Choice: 
if %input%=1 goto Skip
echo You Chose 1
pause >nul
echo So time for stuff
pause >nul
echo Random Stuf
pause >nul
:Skip
echo So that's it.
pause >nul

Goto with variable

Goto accepts the use of variable value to act as the label to goto.

Example:

@echo off

echo a = 1
echo b = 2

set /p "foo=Enter option:"
goto %foo%

However, you should check the input so it will not go to somewhere that does not exist. Going to an undefined label will terminate your batch script instantly.
