Numeric input not accepted by choice.exe #3608
Description
I discovered that choice.exe does not accept numeric input in Terminal whereas it does in the old Windows Console. I am on Windows 10 (update 19.03).
I wrote the following MWE:
@echo off
:_menu
cls
@echo Choose:
@echo (1) Chocolate
@echo (2) Vanilla
@echo (S) Strawberry
@echo (Q) Quit
@echo.
set _CHOICEOPTS_=q12s
rem -- Choice.com can't be launched in x64 environment ; use builtin "choice.exe" command
if exist %SystemRoot%\system32\choice.exe (
choice.exe /n /c %_CHOICEOPTS_% /M "Your choice : "
)else (
choice /n /c:%_CHOICEOPTS_% "Your choice : "
)
set /A _choice_=%ERRORLEVEL%-1
GOTO _menu%_choice_%
:_menu0
GOTO _exit
:_menu1
@echo You chose chocolate
pause
GOTO _menu
:_menu2
@echo You chose vanilla
pause
GOTO _menu
:_menu3
@echo You chose strawberry
pause
GOTO _menu
:_exit
exit /B 0In Windows console, when I press 1 or 2, I get the expected output, but in Windows Terminal nothing happens (as if 1 and 2 are not accepted by choice.exe).
Could you investigate what is happening? I am ready to provide any relevant information.
Best regards.
