Question about .bat

yes... i know .bat lame

but I'm simply attempting to write a batch file to auto-ping 3 servers, i have that part down but.... well the issue is hard to describe, let me post the code and ill work from there

---------------------------------------------------
@echo off
set [[/a [y]] [/p [variable=1]]string]
set [[/a [n]] [/p [variable=2]]string]
Title Ping
REM "this batch was created for fun and to make it easyer to ping 3 servers whilst doing the morning checklist... have fun!


echo Pinging tackleberry, typewriter and printers.
pause

ping -n 5 tackleberry
pause

ping -n 5 typewriter
pause

ping -n 5 printers
pause
cls
echo Did all ping successfully? y/n
set {y|n}
pause
--------------------------------------------

Ok, i know the code sux but thats a different story

what i need it to do is at the end prompt the Y or N so i can move on to further instructions once it pings properly
and its not letting that happen... well more of not letting it happen because i dont know how to finish off the variable statement here

"echo Did all ping successfully? y/n
set {y|n}
pause"
any ideas??
(note this is my first batch writeup and i am in NO WAY a programmer :cry )

 

Try this


SET Success=
SET /P Success=Type


IF /I '%Success%'=='y' GOTO someline



/I makes it case insensitive

 

so somthing like this?

@echo off

SET proper=y


Title Ping
REM "this batch was created for fun and to make it easyer to ping 3 servers whilst doing the morning checklist... have fun!


echo Pinging tackleberry, typewriter, and printers.
pause

ping -n 5 www.google.com


ping -n 5 www.yahoo.com


ping -n 5 www.ogame.org

pause
cls

echo Did all ping successfully? y/n
SET /P Success=y/n -
IF /I '%Success%'=='y' GOTO e1
IF /I '%Success%'=='n' GOTO e2

SET e1= echo Good
pause
:exit
SET e2= echo Check your network connection than contact network support for further assistance at extension 7455
pause
:exit
