I am trying to make a Shutdown dialogue in Batch and I have run into a slight problem. I don't like how Windows 8 asks you for the time in seconds when you would like to remote shutdown your own computer with a timer and I am trying to make a batch file that converts a given number (minutes) into seconds.
I have searched the vast majority of the interwebs and cannot find a way to multiply two whole numbers in a batch file.
Here is what I have so far:
@echo off
echo Enter a number:
set /p %num1%=
echo Enter another:
set /p %num2%=
set /a sum1=%num1%*%num2%
echo The total is %sum1%
pause
Could some kind soul please tell me where I have gone wrong?
Thanks Charlie B
