Set command issue

kenny504

I am using a batch script that uses the set /p Input= command which requires a user to input text, however i have an issue.

The bacth file itself is working but if a user decides not to input any characters and just press ENTER i would like for the script to move to the next prompt. Instead it just closes, how can i achieve this,

below is a sample of the script.

set /p UsrName=
echo.
if %UsrName% equ User goto Passcode else goto Unauth
:Unauth
cls
color fc
echo.
echo.
echo.
echo.
echo.
echo.
echo. You have entered an Invalid Username, This script has aborted.
echo.
echo.
echo.
echo.
echo.
echo.
pause
exit
:Passcode
echo Username Accepted!!
echo. ================Enter Passcode=================
set /p hexfield=
cls
if %hexfield% equ codes goto starter else goto Invalhex
echo. Passcode Accepted!!

I think you have to use multiple nested if statements with a $null value.

if %UsrName% equ User goto Passcode else if %UsrName% equ $null goto Unauth else goto Unauth

You may need to use double quotes "" instead of $null, I may be confusing my scripting languages.
