Hi guys! If my batch file contains this:

:Sorry
ECHO Sorry!

:Welcome
ECHO Welcome!

Is it possible to jump to the ":Sorry" label if i open the cmd file and to jump to the ":Welcome" label if i open the same cmd file followed by an option (for example: batch.cmd /jump)?

Thank you!!

[IcemanND]

goto %1

:sorry
Echo Sorry!
Goto :end

:welcome
echo welcome
Goto :end

:end

just use the label name for the switch

[Caml Light]

GREAT! Thank you very much!

[Caml Light]

a last question... if i convert my CMD batch to EXE, for a person that doesn't know the label i've given, is it possible to jump directly to the "Welcome" label, or anyway to find it's name? I'd to protect my batch file.. so do you think it's a secure solution? Thanks!

It just depends on how secure you want it to be: if you use a batch to exe converter, most of them will only unpack the batch in a temporary folder and run it from there and then the protection will be very light.

[Caml Light]

..and what do you suggest me to protect better my cmd script? Thanks in advance!

Make it into a autoit file and compile it with password...

....and make it longer than 12 characters and make sure you insert "strange" non alpha-numeric characters and not a-z/A-Z ones.
Examples:

• h1_1_@m_@_|33t_p@§§vv0rd
  
• ÿ00_vv0n*t_cr@ç#-m3

BTW, IcemanND's nice batch may be "bettered" (assuming you are on a 2K/XP or later NT based system):

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS
IF NOT "%1"=="" FOR /F %%A in ('type %~nx0 ^|FIND ":%1" ^| FIND /V "FIND"') DO GOTO :%1
Echo A suffusion of yellow ...
GOTO :EOF

:sorry
Echo Sorry!
GOTO :EOF

:welcome
echo welcome

OR (to follow your original post):

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS
IF NOT "%1"=="" FOR /F %%A in ('type %~nx0 ^|FIND ":%1" ^| FIND /V "FIND"') DO GOTO :%1
Echo Sorry!
GOTO :EOF
:welcome
echo welcome

OR:

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
IF /I "%1"=="welcome" GOTO :%1
Echo Sorry!
GOTO :EOF
:welcome
echo welcome

OMG LOLZ

You can use an obfuscator (some batch to exe do this but most of them aren't free) or use another language like autoit (which is a little more secure when using a password ).
You could also change the code to make it so complex that just reading it would not help "the man in the middle" to understand it.

IIRC, the password in AutoIT is only for their decompiler that is meant for AutoIT v2 executables. It was this entire purpose (they lock topics over there if you ask about it) that this function was removed in v3, although you can still put a password in it. But this password does nothing for other decompilers.

thank you for your reply guys! I want to specify that to protect my batch i can't use any password to type in.
To convert to EXE my batch i've used "Bat To Exe Converter 1.5.1.0". Do you think it's enough secure? Better Offuscator?

Now i've added the code by jaclaz:

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
IF /I "%1"=="welcome" GOTO :%1
Echo Sorry!
GOTO :EOF
:welcome
echo welcome

But if an expert user will decrypt my batch, this method will be vain.

I've find Crypto Obfuscator, but is it only for .NET??

[Kelsenellenelvian]

yes it looks like it

I like the looks of this:

This seem to me "good enough":
http://www.f2ko.de/p...lang=en&pid=b2e

But we also have an IDE for batch files :
http://sourceforge.n.../batchcompiler/

And also a new thingy , Visualbatch :
http://visualbatch.sourceforge.net/

The good ol' way:

Guys, i've decided to use for now this converter: http://www.f2ko.de/p...lang=en&pid=b2e

It's free. Now i've an issue. Compiling my batch with this code:

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
IF /I "%1"=="welcome" GOTO :%1
Echo Sorry!
GOTO :EOF
:welcome
echo welcome

the exe launched with welcome option goes directly to the end of the script. With the original batch instead it's all fine.

[Yzöwl]

Not an answer to your last question but, if you use a batch file like this:

@ECHO OFF
ECHO=_%~1|FINDSTR/X "_-? _/?">NUL 2>&1||GOTO Sorry
REM Your scripting starts below here
ECHO=Welcome!
PAUSE
REM Your scripting ends above here
GOTO :EOF
:Sorry
ECHO=	Sorry!
ECHO=
ECHO=Press any key to Exit.
PAUSE>NUL

Only users entering a parameter of /? or -? will run the script. The idea behind this is that they should be the most obvious switches to run by someone 'switched on' an unknowing user will always get the Sorry message.

[Caml Light]

Hi Yzöwl, i've mixed it with one of your batch.... so this is the final result:

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
COLOR F0

ECHO=_%~1|FINDSTR/X "_-123456 _/123456">NUL 2>&1||GOTO Error

FOR /R %%A IN (Windows*-KB*.EXE) DO (
ECHO= Installation of %%~nA...
>NUL PING -n 4 127.0.0.1
"%%A" /quiet /norestart)
ECHO=
ECHO= == Press any key to restart. ==
>NUL PAUSE
SHUTDOWN.EXE /r /t 0
GOTO :EOF

:Error
ECHO= Error.
ECHO=
ECHO= Press any key to exit...
PAUSE>NUL
EXIT

I've for you two questions:

1) Is this batch correct for you??
2) I compile it with this utility: http://www.f2ko.de/p...lang=en&pid=b2e
Once that i launch the obtained EXE with the correct option: "file.exe /?" the batch goes directly to this string: "ECHO= == Press any key to restart. ==", jumping the FOR /R loop command.

Any idea?

A couple of things to mention:

• You don't need to enable delayed expansion.
  
• If for some reason the file is run in the wrong location and there are no hotfixes found, your script would still restart the system

As far as your problem goes, I'd suggest that your 'compiler' may not be designed to pass parameters provided to it through to the script.

[Caml Light]

ok, i've solved the problem cutting down from the posted code every "%~dp0" string. Now with "FOR /R %%A" it seems to work. Please Yzöwl, i've copied your batch from an another topic, and you had enabled delayed expansion there. So, cleaning all the code as you know to do... how do you could to rewrite the code i've posted?

Thanks for your patience.
