Question

I have problem about IF ELSE in Command Batch script…

In Notepad:
Code:

:CHECKACCOUNT
if /I "%user%"=="insertusername" ( GOTO :ACCOUNT ) ELSE ( GOTO :CHECKPASSACCT )

:CHECKPASSACCT
if /I "%pass%"=="insertpassword" ( GOTO :ACCOUNT ) ELSE ( GOTO :COUNTER )

In COMMAND:
Code:

( was unexpected at this time.

FULL Script Code:

You can simplify this down to:

:CHECKACCOUNT
if /I "%user%"=="insertusername" GOTO ACCOUNT
GOTO CHECKPASSACCT

:CHECKPASSACCT
if /I "%pass%"=="insertpassword" GOTO ACCOUNT
GOTO COUNTER

The ELSE statements aren’t needed. Since the IF block will jump somewhere else, placing the second GOTO on the next line or in an ELSE block should be equivalent.

Also, you need the leading colon when defining a GOTO target but not when referring to the target name inside the GOTO statement itself.
