Mixing
Batch counter program shutting down
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
So I am making a counter and I am not sure how to make it work.. I have this right now with some other functions for customization purposes:
set /a current_value=current_value+incremental_value
but it does not work unfortunately..
The whole purpose is to use the pause >nul function so when ever the user presses a key then the screen will show a number go up by the incremental value chosen earlier..
This is the whole script:
@echo off
cls
title Counter
:Incremental_Value
cls
echo./----------------------------------------------
echo.I Set the Incremental Value then press Enter I
echo.----------------------------------------------/
echo.
set /p %incremental_value%= [
:Starter_Value
cls
set current_value=%starter_value%
echo./------------------------------------------
echo.I Set the Starter Value then press Enter I
echo.------------------------------------------/
echo.
set /p %starter_value%= [
goto Counter
:Counter
cls
echo./-------------------
echo.I %current_value% I
echo.-------------------/
echo.
pause >nul
set /a current_value=current_value+incremental_value
goto Counter
Edit: I fixed the shutting down problem, but when you first get to the Counter screen the number does not appear. Once you hit a key it becomes zero (if you set the starting value to zero) then it wont add the incremental value if you continue to press the key.

Can you post the script? There is not allot to work with here. I would suggest try putting the set within quotes, ex:set /a "current_value=current_value+incrimental_value"

It still shut down after that I will go ahead and put in the script

I bet that command works OK (despite ii could be shorter :set /a current_value+=incremental_value), most likely you are trying to use that new value in a code block without using delayed expansion. So show more of the context to prove this.

A very simple issue you had was the improper use of the set /p command. When using set /p, you do not specify the string as set /p %String%= but rather set /p String=. For more information on the set command try typing set /? into a command prompt.
Another issue, not problem is that you have :Incremental_Value & :Starter_Value but you never call or goto them in the script. The only place you properly did this was with goto Counter. Unless you are going to individually goto/call them later, just remove them; or use goto :Starter_Value - exc.
In the future, try using echo( instead of echo. to call a blank space in the window.

@double-beep You just repeated what I original told the OP. I got lazy I will admit and did not do it on my script - However, for integers it is not needed and is perfectly fine. For the+=operator, my alternative is perfectly fine and has an equal impact to the scripts functionality. However, to appease you I went ahead and quoted mysetcommand. Thanks for the point out.

Well, if you wanna keep the layout:
@echo off && setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion & cls
title Counter
:_Incremental_Value
cls
echo/
echo//----------------------------------------------
echo/^| Set the Incremental Value then press Enter ^|
echo/----------------------------------------------/
echo/
set /p _incremental_value= ^|
if "!_incremental_value!" equ "" goto :_Incremental_Value
:_Starter_Value
cls
echo/

echo/
set /p _starter_value= ^|
if "!_starter_value!" equ "" goto :_Starter_Value
set /a _current_value=!_starter_value!
goto :_Counter

Can you post the script? There is not allot to work with here. I would suggest try putting the set within quotes, ex:
set /a "current_value=current_value+incrimental_value"– John Kens

It still shut down after that I will go ahead and put in the script

I bet that command works OK (despite ii could be shorter :
set /a current_value+=incremental_value), most likely you are trying to use that new value in a code block without using delayed expansion. So show more of the context to prove this.– LotPings

I also tried your shorter method and It did the same thing I explained in the edit
