NAME
CHOICE - Waits for the user to press a key, from a list of choices
SYNOPSIS
CHOICE [/B] [/C[:]choices] [/N] [/S] [/T[:]c,nn] [text]
OPTIONS
/B
Sounds an alert (beep) at prompt.
/C[:]choices
Specifies allowable keys in the prompt. When displayed, the keys
will be separated by commas, will appear in brackets ([]), and will
be followed by a question mark. If you don't specify the /C switch,
choice uses YN as the default. The colon (:) is optional.
/N
Causes choice not to display the prompt. The text before the prompt
is still displayed, however. If you specify the /N switch, the
specified keys are still valid.
/S
Causes choice to be case sensitive. If the /S switch is not
specified, choice will accept either upper or lower case of the keys
that the user specifies.
/T[:]c,nn
Causes choice to pause for a specified number of seconds before
defaulting to a specified key. The values for the /T switch are
as follows:
c Specifies the character to display after nn seconds. The
character must be in the set of choices specified by the /C
switch.
nn Specifies the number of seconds to pause. Acceptable values
are from 0 to 99. If 0 is specified, there will be no pause
before defaulting.
text
Prompt string to display
RETURN VALUE
ERRORLEVEL is set to offset of key user presses in choices.
