copied!<p><code>if %upts%*%utroop% LEQ %epts%*%etroopt%</code> does not calculate the value of each side, it strings together <code>the contants of upts</code>*<code>the contents of utroop</code> and compares that string against the RHS. You need to explicitly calculate the two values into variables using a <code>SET</code>.</p> <p>Your <code>ELSE</code> clause invokes a "block statement" that is, the ENTIRE contents of the parenthesised series of statements up to the closing <code>)</code> following <code>enddo</code>. Batch parses the statement from the <code>IF</code> through to the closing parenthesis of the <code>ELSE</code> block, substitutes for any <code>%var%</code> with the PARSE-TIME value of <code>var</code> and <strong>THEN</strong> executes the result. Consequently, <code>TYPE</code> will appear unchanged to the logic within the block.</p> <p>You'd need to invoke <code>delayedexpansion</code> mode and use <code>!var!</code> to access the RUN-TIME value of <code>var</code>. This is done with a <code>SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION</code> statement, usually inserted after the opening <code>@echo off</code> at the start of the batch (hence turning delayedexpansion and the <code>!var!</code> facility ON for the entire duration of the batch)</p> <p>Actually, there's no need for an <code>ELSE</code> clause as you have it because you <code>GOTO</code> a label in the true part. This may simplify your code.</p> <p>Finally, there's no <code>DO/ENDDO</code> facility in batch - or at least, not in that form. I'll presume that you intend to do the intervening code <code>%dmg%</code> times. You can achieve this by using</p> <pre><code>for /L %%z in (1,1,%dmg%) do ( intervening code ) </code></pre> <p>where the metavariable <code>%%z</code> will be incremented from the first element in the parentheses to the last in steps of the second. <code>%%z</code> can be any letter, but is one of the very few cases in batch which <strong>IS</strong> case-sensitive.</p>
