Basic shell scripting
 

I am currently in a couple programming classes and have zero experience in programming, but pretty good elsewhere. We are given a step by step example from the book and I have actually copied and pasted the code. The issue I am coming across is when I force an error to try to get the appropriate error response, I get "is was unexpected at this time". The actual program will work all except giving the appropriate error msg.

@ECHO off


TITLE "KnockKnock1.bat - Tried and true, but still funny!"



COLOR 0E

SET /p reply="Knock Knock! C:>"

IF NOT %reply% == "Who is there?" (

ECHO "Sorry, you need to use quotes around your reply please."

GOTO :EOF )


ECHO.

GOTO :EOF )
