Scripting help-user input

[Lazor]

I'm trying to create a batch file, that asks for user input, then executes a few other command line programs based on that input.

Anyways, I'm not exactly a programmer, so I found a sample script that I figured would work, and it does, but all the choices are numbers, and I'm trying to get it to accept file names instead.

So instead of

Type the number to print text.1

It would be

Type the number to print text.File Name Here

But it only seems to work with numbers and individual letters.

This is the script I based this off of, minus the end of it, which doesn't matter for this question.

@ECHO off
cls
:start

set choice=
set /p choice=Type the number to print text.
if not '%choice%'=='' set choice=%choice:~0,1%
if '%choice%'=='1' goto hello
if '%choice%'=='2' goto bye
if '%choice%'=='3' goto test
ECHO "%choice%" is not valid please try again

If I need to use a new command, or maybe not use a batch script and use vbscript or something instead, I'm open to it.

But any help would be greatly appreciated.
