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:
“Holofernes. He is too picked, too spruce, too affected, too odd as it were, too peregrinate as I may call it.
Sir Nathaniel. A most singular and choice epithet.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
