I want to make a game in MS-DOS and I'm stuck with a problem:

How to ask the user for input without stopping the console?

I've considered stopping it for a few milliseconds and giving the illusion that the console didn't stop:

@echo off
:inicio
choice /c awds0 /t 0.30 /d 0
if %errorlevel%==1 echo izquierda.
goto inicio
pause
exit

But it gives me an error:

Only a number from -1 to 999 is allowed

I have also tried to place:
choice /c awds0 /t 0 /d 0
But the key is not detected even if I put it in a buclegoto:

@echo off
:inicio
choice /c awds0 /t 0 /d 0
if not %errorlevel%==5 goto end
goto inicio
:end
echo se terminó el programa
pause
exit

input: a....

output: Infinity loop


The other option I think is to capture the click event of the window, but I don't know how and I can't find how to do it.
Note: I use windows 7 32bits. The console that I use is the one that comes by default with the operating system.

As the title says when launching the command attribin the CMD to change the properties of a file the command is not recognized although in the past I used it without problems.

I was recently making changes to the system (not user) Path variable and some were removed, I think there might be a connection.

If I type attribin C:\Windows\System32\I get a list of all the dlls in the folder like so:

A                    C:\Windows\System32\xwtpdui.dll
A                    C:\Windows\System32\xwtpw32.dll
A                    C:\Windows\System32\X_80.contrast-black.png

But if I do it from C:\UsersI get:

"attrib" no es reconocido como un comando interno o externo,
 un programa ejecutable o un file batch.

I have a windows directory full of txt files, all numbered consecutively (example: f1,f2,f3, etc) there are more than 2 million of them, what I need is a script that copies every 400 files and creates a folder with a numeric name (example: folder1, folder2, folder3, etc), to copy the next 400 files, I have the following script, the problem is that it copies everything to a single folder that it creates

@echo off

rem COUNT
set c=0

rem FOLDER ID
set f=0

mkdir folder%f%
echo Copiando a folder%f%...

for %%i in (*) do (
  if %%c LSS 400 (
    rem COPY TO CURRENT FOLDER
    copy %%i folder%f%\

    rem INCREASE ITERATION COUNT
    set /a c+=1
  ) else (
    rem INCREASE FOLDER ID
    set /a f+=1

    rem ADD A NEW FOLDER
    mkdir folder%f%
    echo Copiando a folder%f%...

    rem RESET ITERATION COUNT
    set c=0
  )
)

In linux it would be as easy as:

var = `command $url`
var = $ (command $url)

But in batch I am trying with a for but it is not taking me the content of the variable% URL%:

set URL=pagina.com:435435
for /f %%i in ('command  %URL%') do set TITULO=%%i

Does anyone know what's going on?

If I do in CMD something forlike this:

for /F "tokens=1,2* delims=: " %%g in (test.txt) do (
    echo %%g es el label y %%h es el valor
)

With those delimiters what happens to me is that it separates me by a colon OR by a space. But how can I make it always separate by a colon AND by a space?
