How do I request and receive user input in a .bat and use it to run a certain program?

This is what I have so far

@echo off
:Ask
echo Would you like to use developer mode?(Y/N)
set INPUT=
set /P INPUT=Type input: %=%
If %INPUT%=="y" goto yes 
If %INPUT%=="n" goto no
If %INPUT%=="Y" goto yes
If %INPUT%=="N" goto no
:yes
java -jar lib/RSBot-4030.jar -dev
echo Starting RSbot in developer mode
:no
java -jar lib/RSBot-4030.jar
echo Starting RSbot in regular mode
pause

Either way if the user enters y or n it always runs in -dev mode.

How do I make it run in -dev mode if the answer is yes, and regular mode if the answer is no. Also, how do I make it ask again if the input isn't Y, N, y, or n?

I have improved batch file with yes or no prompt. If user enter any character except y and n , then it will again prompt user for valid input. It Works for me. 

    @echo off

    :ConfirmBox 
        set /P c= Are you sure want to contine (y/n)?

    if /I "%c%" EQU "Y" (
    goto :FnYes 
    ) else if /I "%c%" EQU "N" ( 
    goto :FnNo
    ) else ( 
    goto :InValid 
    )


:FnYes
     echo You have entered Y
     goto :END

:FnNo
     echo You have entered N
     goto :END

:InValid
     echo Invalid selection. Enter Y or N
     goto :ConfirmBox

:END
    pause
    exit

/I in if condition will validate both lowercase and uppercase characters.
