Choice (command)
In computing, CHOICE is a DOS command that allows for batch files to prompt the user to select one item from a set of single-character choices. It was introduced as an external command (with filenames CHOICE.COM or CHOICE.EXE) with MS-DOS 6.0, Novell DOS 7 and PC DOS 7.0, and is also available from the command line shell of some versions of Microsoft Windows, but not under Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
Starting with Windows 2000, the SET command has similar functionality using the /P command-line argument.
Famous quotes containing the word choice:
“It was a real treat when he’d read me Daisy Miller out loud. But we’d reached the point in our relationship when, in a straight choice between him and Henry James, I’d have taken Henry James any day even if Henry James were dead and not much of a one for the girls when living, either.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
