Hi all... been fooling around trying to get back a fellow employee . My problem is that the IF statement in this script doesn't work... any idea's?

@ECHO OFF
set COUNT = 0
CD %USERPROFILE%\DESKTOP
SET COUNT=0
SET MAX=%1

:LOOP
IF COUNT NEQ MAX GOTO SEND ELSE GOTO END

:SEND
DIR >> %COUNT%.TXT && ECHO *sMaCk*
set /a COUNT=%COUNT%+1
ECHO.
DIR >> %COUNT%.TXT && ECHO *hA Ha*
set /a COUNT=%COUNT%+1
ECHO.
DIR >> %COUNT%.TXT && ECHO *SmAcK*
set /a COUNT=%COUNT%+1
ECHO.
DIR >> %COUNT%.TXT && ECHO *Ha hA*
set /a COUNT=%COUNT%+1
ECHO.
GOTO LOOP

:END
CLS
ECHO.
ECHO.
ECHO.
ECHO HA HA, *BAD WORD*.
ECHO.
ECHO.
ECHO PRESS YOUR ANY KEY
ECHO TO DELETE MULTIPLE
ECHO FILEZ... HAHA.....
ECHO.
ECHO TAG!!! YER IT!!!!
ECHO.
ECHO.
ECHO.
ECHO.
PAUSE>NUL

Simpler?
IF COUNT=MAX GOTO END

 

[JoshWithrow]

Ahhh... well if that doesn't make too much sense

 

[JoshWithrow]

That didn't work either, but it'll do

The IF statement doesn't compare the COUNT and MAX values. [shrug] who knows...

Thanks!!!

I'll have a look, i'll post back.

This should do it

IF %COUNT%==%MAX% GOTO END

While testing you can add a few echo's

echo COUNT = %COUNT%
echo MAX = %MAX%

:LOOP
IF %COUNT%==%MAX% GOTO END

DIR >> %COUNT%.TXT && ECHO *sMaCk*
set /a COUNT=%COUNT%+1
ECHO.
echo COUNT = %COUNT%
echo MAX = %MAX%
DIR >> %COUNT%.TXT && ECHO *hA Ha*
set /a COUNT=%COUNT%+1
ECHO.
echo COUNT = %COUNT%
echo MAX = %MAX%
DIR >> %COUNT%.TXT && ECHO *SmAcK*
set /a COUNT=%COUNT%+1
ECHO.
echo COUNT = %COUNT%
echo MAX = %MAX%
DIR >> %COUNT%.TXT && ECHO *Ha hA*
set /a COUNT=%COUNT%+1
ECHO.
echo COUNT = %COUNT%
echo MAX = %MAX%

pause

GOTO LOOP

:END
.....
