Waits for the user to press a key, from a list of choices
Jim Hall, jhall@freedos.net
CHOICE [/B] [/C[:]choices] [/N] [/S] [/T[:]c,nn] [text]
-
/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.
