To exit a batch use goto :eof [End of File]

if "%ShouldIExit%"=="TRUE" goto :EOF

or

if "%ShouldIExit%"=="TRUE" exit

or

if "%ShouldIExit%"=="TRUE" exit 2
Rem exit 2 will set the errorlevel to 2, and exit the program.

or

Search for this program on your computer, usually deep in the windows directory.

TaskKill.exe

I want to close one cmd window with a command

rem if %choise%==1 goto menu

The above line will cause an error if %choise% is not defined so remove it.

goto was unexpected at this time.

Use the following batch file:

@echo off
:menu
cls
color a
echo ===============================
echo              MENU
echo ===============================
echo   1.Exit  2.History
echo.
set /p choise=Choose:
if %choise%==1 exit
if %choise%==2 goto History
endlocal

  • If you press 1 the batch file will exit the cmd shell

  • If you press 2 you will get an error as there is no label history

    The system cannot find the batch label specified - History

I have two windows, "MWprog" and "History Box"

I want to close the "History box" window without closing the "MWprog" windows.

Add the following command to the batch file:

taskkill /f /fi "WINDOWTITLE eq Administrator:  History Box"

Note:

  • The extra space - there are two after the : - is required.
