Hello, i have a problem with a batch file i'm writing.
@echo off
title TEST FORUM
:refresh
cls
echo É»
echo º º
echo º Welcome to my º
echo º TEST FORUM º
echo º º
echo ȼ
echo.
call database.bat
echo.
echo ÅÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
echo ³1: Write new message
echo ³2: Refresh
echo ³
echo.
set choice=
set /p choice= Type here:
if not '%choice%'=='' set choice %choice:~0,1%
if '%choice%'=='1' goto writemessage1
if '%choice%'=='2' goto refresh
goto refresh
:writemessage1
cls
echo when writing a new message
echo you may not:
echo 1. Use ' ' (space)
echo use '_' instead, or put
echo "" around your words.
echo 2. put " at the very start.
echo 3. Write more than '50'
echo letters and signs(!?_ etc)
echo without making a new line
echo break.
echo.
echo Type "finish" to end.
echo Type "cancel" to end without saving.
echo.
echo Answer "yes" or "no".
set choice=
set /p choice=OK?
if not '%choice%'=='' set choice %choice:~0,3%
if '%choice%'=='yes' goto writemessage2
if '%choice%'=='no' goto refresh
:writemessage2
echo echo ÅÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ >> database.bat
cls
echo Text preview:
:writemessage3
set writemessage=
set /p writemessage=
if not '%writemessage%'=='' set writemessage %writemessage:~0,50%
if '%writemessage%'=='finish' goto finish
if '%writemessage%'=='' echo echo ³ >> database.bat
if '%writemessage%'=='%writemessage%' echo echo ³%writemessage% >> database.bat
goto writemessage3
:finish
echo echo ³ >> database.bat
goto refresh
Technically it works, but if two are writing at the same time the two messages would mix. so i tried this:
@echo off
set data=">> database.bat"
:refresh
cls
echo É»
echo º º
echo º Welcome to my º
echo º TEST FORUM º
echo º º
echo ȼ
echo.
call database.bat
echo.

set /p choice= Type here:

sed -e s/"//g chat1data.bat
call chat1data.bat
