Resolved Win XP batch files

I have been trying find a way to set up a choice in a batch file - i.e., display a message "Do you want to XXX? (Y/N)?" but I can't see any way to implement a user input and perform the relevant action.
Is this possible or am I wasting my time?

 

Code:

@echo off
:Loop
cls
set Answer=
set /p Answer=  "Do you want to xxx? (Y/N):  "
for %%x in (y Y) do if  "%Answer% "== "%%x" goto Yes
for %%x in (n N) do if  "%Answer% "== "%%x" goto No
goto Loop
:Yes
echo You answered Yes
goto Cleanup
:No 
echo You answered No
:Cleanup
set Answer=
:EOF

 

Many thanks SpywareDr for your reply. It looks highly promising and I shall try it immediately.
I spent some time poring over 'Batch Files' in O'Reilly's 'XP in a Nutshell' but it was somewhat unclear as to accepting an input and taking action.
I will reply again when I've set up the file.

 

Latest update :
Thank you SpywareDr for a very helpful response. The only drawback was that I am using the basic DOS commands whereas you suggested 'for', which only applies to script files.
However, there was sufficient information for me to be able to use the DOS 'if' statement
(i.e., if "%Answer% "== "N" goto end etc. etc) and it all works like a charm.
Thanks again.

 

Excellent job of figuring it out yourself. It's been a while since I've seen someone even willing try.

Anyway, you're more than welcome, and thanks!

 

Thank you PeteC, but I don't need reminding about resolution. In fact I have already clicked on 'Mark as solved' twice but WindowsBBS is not actioning this.
