I want to know if there any solution to this:

Main.bat:

@echo off

goto 'input'



: 'input'

cls

set "inp="

set /p inp=What would you like to do?

set firstresponse=%inp:~0,5%

if %firstresponse%==help goto 'help'

pause

if /I %firstresponse%==check set firstresponse=dir && set                             

executeparttwo=%inp:~5%

if /I %firstresponse%==remov goto 'remove'



%firstresponse%%executeparttwo%

pause

goto 'input'



: 'remove'

set "firstresponse=" && set firstresponse=%inp:~0,6%

if /I %firstresponse%==remove set firstresponse=del

set executeparttwo=%inp:~6%

%firstresponse%%executeparttwo%

pause

goto 'input'



: 'help'

cls

echo Check = Dir in regular command prompt, checks a directory.

echo Remove = del in regular command prompt, deletes something.

pause

goto 'input'

if the User typed an invalid command, it will show like what CMD does ( 'command' is not recongnized...)

What i want to do is to replace the CMD invalid command text to my own one like "command" is an invalid command, but to do that i need to "hide" the CMD one (because if the user typed a invalid command it will not show him a "custom message")

I tried to use some Batch plugins like batbox, CursorPos etc... To replace the cursor position but i didn't get what i wanted. So if anyone have a solution i will be very appreciated!

• Have a nice day, and thanks for reading!

Your splitting the command and parameters is not ideal, there is a much easier and safer way. Also, the method of an own subroutine for each command is suboptimal (especially, when you add more and more commands).

@echo off

call :commandlist  REM build translation table



:input

REM get input line:

set /p "commandline=Enter Command: "

REM split to command and parameters

for /f "tokens=1,*" %%a in ("%commandline%") do (

  set "command=_%%a"

  set "params=%%b"

)

REM check for valid command:

set _|findstr /bi "%command%=" >nul || (

  echo invalid command: '%command:~1%'.

  goto :input

)

REM execute the command:

call %%%command%%% %params%

goto :input



:Commandlist

set "_check=dir /b"

set "_remove=del"

set "_help=:help"

set "_where=call echo %%cd%%"

set "_change=cd"

set "_bye=exit /b"   'secret' exit command  ;)

goto :eof



:help

echo Check = Dir in regular command prompt, checks a directory.

echo Remove = del in regular command prompt, deletes something.

echo Where = echo %%cd%% in regular command prompt, print working folder.

echo Change = cd in regular command prompt, change working folder

goto :input

(Note to experienced batch users: yes I know there is a possibility for some "code injection")
