I need a way to prompt a user for an input using batch

I noticed a post on how to make a batch that opens another batch upon an input. However, I need a way that will make the code pause until the correct input is entered, then continue.

So for example, the code would ask what is the access code?

Then the user would input the correct code, for example 123.

Then the code would say "Welcome!" Then it would execute another question like "What do you want to do today?" There would be a list of options:

A. Game

B. Browse

C. Nevermind

The user would in put a, b, or c and the script would start either a game or web browser. If the user selected C, then it would exit.

Thanks for the help!

I think a little bit modified version of code should work just fine.

@Echo off
:Start
cls
echo Welcome !
echo To Greet press one.
echo For Goodbye press two.
echo To Abort press 3 
ECHO.
ECHO.

SET /p Option=Choice:
if "%Option%"=="1" GOTO Sub_MenuA
if "%Option%"=="2" GOTO Sub_MenuB
if "%Option%"=="3" GOTO Sub_MenuC
if "%Option%"=="quit" GOTO EOF
Goto Start

:Sub_MenuA
echo Hi There!
pause
Goto Start
:Sub_MenuB
echo tatas !
pause
Goto Start
:Sub_MenuC
echo Aborted
Pause
Goto Start
:EOF
