I need some help converting a .bat executable file that I run on my PC at my job so that it works on a Mac. I am taking a Basic Scripting class and when I'm home I cannot test the scripts I write until I get to work. I want to be able to write scripts in Bash and Powershell. Below is the menu script I wrote that I would like to translate to Bash.

I have a question.
I'm currently trying to convert a simple batch script that I have made to a GUI-version. I'm not a professional, but I love to tinker around and try stuff out.
Is there anyone who could help me to go in the right direction?
Here is my simple batch script:
#echo off
::BatchHasAdmin
:-------------------------------------
REM --> Check if this file has administrator rights.
IF "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%" EQU "amd64" (
>nul 2>&1 "%SYSTEMROOT%\SysWOW64\cacls.exe" "%SYSTEMROOT%\SysWOW64\config\system"
) ELSE (
>nul 2>&1 "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\cacls.exe" "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\config\system"
)
REM --> If no rights, we don't have setted the flag for it.
if '%errorlevel%' NEQ '0' (
echo Requesting administrative privileges...
goto UACPrompt
) else ( goto gotAdmin )
:UACPrompt
echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) > "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
set params= %*
echo UAC.ShellExecute "cmd.exe", "/c ""%~s0"" %params:"=""%", "", "runas", 1 >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"

Main goal:
I want to make a GUI version of this script.
Problems or things that I'm struggling with:
How can I make commands like batch/ps and vbs run with each other, like for example from a click in the GUI. Because it are all languages on their own, I have now made 3 seperate folders. (The .vbs script is not my own, I got it and changed it a bit)
A local database for users to run certain test, like the battery-report and save it to a local file/database that users could later acces.
A kind of version control that when the script (GUI) is launched it would fetch from GitHub to check if there is a new version available.
I'm sorry if I'm asking some dumb questions, I'm trying to teach and help myself by doing some projects for myself. So all help is welcome! The pcHealth repo may be dumb, but a few people do use it :)
Please keep in mind that I'm not a pro, I would consider myself as a complete noob on this subject.
I'm looking forward to your responses though!

It is possible using python, but with a batch it is not possible.
I have an unfinished batch file that wont jump to the :TBS label. It will always go to the :BSO label no matter what you put in for the first question. "A" should go to :BSO and "B" should go to :TBS. I don't know how to fix this. I have tried everything I can think of. Any help appreciated.

PS: The names of the executables used for basic optimizations can be read by clicking with secondary (usually right) mouse button on an executable like sfc.exe, clicking in opened context menu with primary (usually left) mouse button on last menu item Properties, selecting the tab Details and looking on item File description.
I make a program on cmd with 2 windows and I want to close one cmd window with a command.
if %choise%==1 goto menu
:menu
cls
color a
echo ===============================
echo MENU
echo ===============================
echo 1.Eixt 2.History
echo.
set /p choise=Choose:
if %choise%==1 exit
if %choise%==2 goto History
can anyone help?
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.
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.

Hi I am trying to make a small menu in which the .bat file uses the user input to define a path. The code below works.
#ECHO OFF
SET /P var= Type The FULL Path In Here:
MKDIR %var%\
pause
However when I try to implement the code into the menu below. It fails and I can't read the error because it immediately exits the batch file. I am running a windows 10 machine and running the batch from the C:\ drive. The batch file makes the folders on the C:\ drive as well. I would be grateful for any help Thanks.
ECHO OFF
CLS
:MENU
ECHO.
ECHO ...............................................
ECHO PRESS 1 to select your task, or 2 TO EXIT.
ECHO ...............................................
ECHO.
ECHO 1 - Set Path
ECHO.
ECHO 2 - EXIT
ECHO.
SET /P M=Type 1 or 5 then press ENTER:
IF %M%==1 GOTO CallScript1
IF %M%==5 GOTO EOF
CallScript1
#ECHO OFF
SET /P var= Type The FULL Path In Here:
MKDIR %var%\
GOTO:EOF
You are missing the colon before the label CallScript1 on line 17
i.e. replace
CallScript1
with
:CallScript1
I don't usually create batch files as I just type what I need into the run box or the command prompt but I'm trying to make one just to let me access basic utilities in windows and check up on things (I really don't need it but I think my dad would find it helpful). I am familiar (but new) with python so if using python for these things is a better option I can do that, however I thought batch was the best way of doing something as simple as this. The problem is with my menu. I think because of my menu , it is cycling through all of the commands before doing the command selected. Any help with this will be fully appreciated, the batch script is in a code box below.

You may use a much simpler approach if you don't test the errorlevel value at all, but just use it to assemble a goto command with multiple destinations. In order for this method to work, the labels must be changed so they include the errorlevel values.

The errorlevel is a bit funny. When you compare like that, it actually checks if the number is equal OR greater than. So to make it work your current way, you need to order the tests in reverse (starting with higher errorlevels, and working down to errorlevel 0, always using a GOTO jump for each condition).
The other way to do it is use the environment variable:
if "%errorlevel%"=="4" goto :PINGGOOGLE
It's usually a good idea to put goto :menu after all the tests, just in case none of the tests pass. For example, if the user presses Ctrl-C, the errorlevel comes out as zero. In your code (after you fix the tests), it will fall through to the :CHKDSK section.
Change the ErrorLevel part to
IF %ERRORLEVEL%==1 GOTO CHKDSK
IF %ERRORLEVEL%==2 GOTO RENEW
IF %ERRORLEVEL%==3 GOTO DISPLAYIP
IF %ERRORLEVEL%==4 GOTO PINGGOOGLE
IF %ERRORLEVEL%==5 GOTO CLEANMGR
IF %ERRORLEVEL%==6 GOTO PING0
IF %ERRORLEVEL%==7 GOTO PING1
IF %ERRORLEVEL%==8 GOTO STARTNOTE
goto menu
Note that the if command comparisons are space sensitive therefore, "0 "==" 0" will not be equal.
