Choice Command

Takeaway: Use the batch-file command Choice to make your batch files interactive. Greg Shultz shows how it can come in handy even in Windows 7. 

Back in the old days of computing, I became very adept at creating batch files. It was almost a necessity to be able to automate tasks that would otherwise require a lot of typing at the Command prompt. Of course, I now do most of my task automation using Windows Scripting Host with VBScript and Windows PowerShell. However, there are times when a good old-fashioned batch file comes in really handy. That’s why I was glad to see that Microsoft brought back the Choice command in Vista and kept it there in Windows 7. 

As you may know, a lot of batch files just simply run a series of commands from start to finish. However, sometimes it is nice to be able to prompt a user to make a choice in order to determine which direction the batch file should take. That’s why when Microsoft introduced DOS 6.0 in the early 1990s, they included a new batch-file command called Choice, which was designed to give you the ability to make your batch files interactive. 

As the Windows operating system evolved to Windows 95 and then Windows 98, the Choice command came along for the ride. But when Windows 2000 came on the scene, the Choice command was absent. It wasn’t included in Windows XP either. While you could download the Choice command and add it to Windows 2000 or Windows XP, it just wasn’t the same as having it available as a native command - especially when you were sharing your batch files with other folks. 

In this edition of the Windows Desktop Report, I’ll examine the Choice command. As I do, I’ll show you an example situation where it can come in handy. 

Looking at the Choice command 

As I mentioned, the power of the Choice command is that it allows you to make your batch files interactive. To see how the Choice command works, let’s consider this basic Choice command: 

Choice /M "Do you want to continue" 

If you type this in a Command Prompt window and press [Enter], you’ll see the following prompt 

Do you want to continue [Y,N]? 

As you can see, the text that follows the /M parameter becomes the message, or prompt, that the Choice command displays. The [Y,N]? is added by the Choice command and is the default list of choices. If you press Y, the Choice command returns a value of 1. If you press N, the Choice command returns a value of 2. These values are assigned to an environment variable named Errorlevel. 

With this basic explanation in mind, let’s take a look at a more complete example. 

Choice /M "Do you want to continue" 
If Errorlevel 2 Goto No 
If Errorlevel 1 Goto Yes 
Goto End 

:No 
Echo You selected No 
Goto End 

:Yes 
Echo You selected Yes 
:End 

In this example, I’ve used the If Errorlevel structure to determine the value assigned to the environment variable, the Goto structure to redirect the batch file execution to the specified label, and the Echo command to display an appropriate results message. You’ll also note that when you use the If Errorlevel structure in a batch program, you have to list the numbers in decreasing order. 

Parameters 

In a nutshell, that’s how the Choice command works. Using the additional parameters allows you to create more elaborate Choice commands. Microsoft describes the Choice parameters as follows: 

CHOICE [/C choices] [/N] [/CS] [/T timeout /D choice] [/M text] 

A real-world example 

Now that you have a good idea of how the Choice command works, let’s take a look at a real-world example of where the Choice command can simplify the use of a command-line tool in a batch file. 

As you know, troubleshooting and diagnosing TCP/IP problems on a Windows network can be a tough job. However, the task can be easier if you use the IP Configuration (IPConfig) command, which is designed to provide you with detailed information on a Windows system’s TCP/IP network configuration. This information can be used to help verify network connections and settings and, along with other TCP/IP tools, can assist you in solving TCP/IP problems on a Windows network. 

Unfortunately, there are numerous IPConfig command parameters, and many of them are quite long, so remembering them, much less typing them accurately, can be a bear of a job in and of itself. To make using the IPConfig command a bit easier, I’ve created the batch file shown in Figure A. (You can download the batch file if you prefer.) The strange-looking characters that you see are actually special characters that I copied from Character Map and are configured in such a way as to create a nice window — like a border, as you’ll see. 

Figure A 

The IPC.bat file with the Choice command makes using the IPConfig command’s lengthy parameters easy to access. 

When you run it by opening a Command Prompt window and typing IPC, this batch file displays a nice menu, as shown in Figure B, and then using the Choice command allows you to easily select and run the most common IPConfig command lines. You just type a number, and the command runs. 

Figure B 

Once the menu displays, you just type a number, and the appropriate IPConfig command line runs. 

What’s your take? 

Do you create and use batch files on a regular basis? Now that the Choice command is back, will you make use of it? Will you download and use the IPC.bat file? As always, if you have comments or information to share about this topic, please take a moment to drop by the TechRepublic Community Forums and let us hear from you.

A. A. Using the Windows NT Resource Kit Supplement 2 utility REG.EXE you can delete a registry value from the command line or batch file, e.g. 

reg delete HKLM\Software\test 

Would delete the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\test value. When you enter the command you will be prompted if you really want to delete, enter Y. To avoid the confirmation add /force to the command, e.g. 

reg delete HKLM\Software\test /force 

A full list of the codes to be used with REG DELETE are as follows: 

To delete a entry on a remote machine add the name of the machine, \\<machine name>, e.g. 

reg delete HKLM\Software\test \\johnpc

Deleting Registry Keys from the Command Line  

There are two ways to delete a key from the Registry from the Command line. At the Windows Command line:  

RegEdit /l location of System.dat /R location of User.dat /D Registry key to delete  

You cannot be in Windows at the time you use this switch.  

Or you can create a reg file as such:  

REGEDIT4  

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\the key you want to delete]  

Note the negative sign just behind the[ 

Then at the Command line type:  

1. RegEdit C:\Windows\(name of the regfile).

Configure TCP/IP from the Command Prompt

 

Save current settings 

netsh -c interface dump > c:'location1.txt 

When you reach location #2, do the same thing, only keep the new settings to a different file: 

 

Set to DHCP (check name and make sure it is exact) 

netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" dhcp 

Would you like to configure DNS and WINS addresses from the Command Prompt? You can. See this example for DNS: 

 

Import settings saved beforehand 

Now, whenever you need to quickly import your IP settings and change them between location #1 and location #2, just enter the following command in a Command Prompt window (CMD.EXE): 

netsh -f c:'location1.txt

Configure TCP/IP from the Command Prompt 

by Daniel Petri - January 7, 2009  

Printer Friendly Version  

In order to configure TCP/IP settings such as the IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, DNS and WINS addresses and many other options you can use Netsh.exe. 

Netsh.exe is a command-line scripting utility that allows you to, either locally or remotely, display or modify the network configuration of a computer that is currently running. Netsh.exe also provides a scripting feature that allows you to run a group of commands in batch mode against a specified computer. Netsh.exe can also save a configuration script in a text file for archival purposes or to help you configure other servers. 

Netsh.exe is available on Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. 

You can use the Netsh.exe tool to perform the following tasks: 

What can we do with Netsh.exe? 

With Netsh.exe you can easily view your TCP/IP settings. Type the following command in a Command Prompt window (CMD.EXE): 

netsh interface ip show config 

With Netsh.exe, you can easily configure your computer's IP address and other TCP/IP related settings. For example: 

The following command configures the interface named Local Area Connection with the static IP address 192.168.0.100, the subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, and a default gateway of 192.168.0.1: 

netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" static 192.168.0.100 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 1 

(The above line is one long line, copy paste it as one line) 

Netsh.exe can be also useful in certain scenarios such as when you have a portable computer that needs to be relocated between 2 or more office locations, while still maintaining a specific and static IP address configuration. With Netsh.exe, you can easily save and restore the appropriate network configuration. 

First, connect your portable computer to location #1, and then manually configure the required settings (such as the IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, DNS and WINS addresses).  

Now, you need to export your current IP settings to a text file. Use the following command: 

netsh -c interface dump > c:'location1.txt 

When you reach location #2, do the same thing, only keep the new settings to a different file: 

netsh -c interface dump > c:'location2.txt 

You can go on with any other location you may need, but we'll keep it simple and only use 2 examples. 

Now, whenever you need to quickly import your IP settings and change them between location #1 and location #2, just enter the following command in a Command Prompt window (CMD.EXE): 

netsh -f c:'location1.txt 

or 

netsh -f c:'location2.txt 

and so on. 

You can also use the global EXEC switch instead of -F: 

netsh exec c:'location2.txt 

Netsh.exe can also be used to configure your NIC to automatically obtain an IP address from a DHCP server: 

netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" dhcp 

Would you like to configure DNS and WINS addresses from the Command Prompt? You can. See this example for DNS: 

netsh interface ip set dns "Local Area Connection" static 192.168.0.200 

and this one for WINS: 

netsh interface ip set wins "Local Area Connection" static 192.168.0.200 

Or, if you want, you can configure your NIC to dynamically obtain it's DNS settings: 

netsh interface ip set dns "Local Area Connection" dhcp 

BTW, if you want to set a primary and secondary DNS address, add index=1 and index=2 respectively to the lines of Netsh command. 

As you now see, Netsh.exe has many features you might find useful, and that goes beyond saying even without looking into the other valuable options that exist in the command.
