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](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batch_file). 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](http://www.techrepublic.com/article/windows-scripting-host-brings-powerful-scripting-features-to-the-masses/5032773) with VBScript and [Windows PowerShell](http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/10things/10-cool-things-you-can-do-with-windows-powershell/302). 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](http://www.microsoft.com/windows/default.aspx) brought back the Choice command in Vista and kept it there in [Windows 7](http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/window-on-windows/). 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](http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/focus/Windows+Desktop+Report.html), 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 \[/C choices\] \[/N\] \[/CS\] \[/T timeout /D choice\] \[/M text\]
Parameter Description
/C choices Specifies the list of choices to be created. Valid choices include a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and extended ASCII characters (128-254). The default list is “YN.”
/N Hides the list of choices in the prompt. The message before the prompt is displayed and the choices are still enabled.
/CS Enables case-sensitive choices to be selected. By default, the utility is case-insensitive.
/T timeout The number of seconds to pause before a default choice is made. Acceptable values are from 0 to 9999. If 0 is specified, there will be no pause and the default choice is selected.
/D choice Specifies the default choice after nnnn seconds. Character must be in the set of choices specified by /C option and must also specify nnnn with /T.
/M text Specifies the message to be displayed before the prompt. If not specified, the utility displays only a prompt.
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](http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/window-on-windows/save-time-and-keystrokes-with-the-windows-vista-ip-configuration-tool/1474) (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](http://downloads.techrepublic.com.com/abstract.aspx?docid=3631893).) 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](http://techrepublic.com.com/5221-6230-0.html) and let us hear from you.

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](http://www.petri.co.il/authors/danielp) - January 7, 2009 [Printer Friendly Version](http://www.petri.co.il/configure_tcp_ip_from_cmd.htm) 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:
- Configure interfaces - Configure routing protocols - Configure filters - Configure routes - Configure remote access behavior for Windows-based remote access routers that are running the Routing and Remote Access Server (RRAS) Service - Display the configuration of a currently running router on any computer - Use the scripting feature to run a collection of commands in batch mode against a specified router.
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.
