Batch Help: IF multiple variables

[chaos945]

Anyone know how to seperate variables in a single string. The red designates the spot the command needs to go but I can't get it to work.

ie. IF /I "%USER_INPUT%"=="1"^"ONE" GOTO ONE

Why not

IF /I "%USER_INPUT%"=="1" GOTO ONE
IF /I "%USER_INPUT%"=="ONE" GOTO ONE

I want it all on one string, because I'm picky. Plus I can then assign an entire section of commands in just one IF statement. That is actually how it is right now but it makes the code bloated since I have like 7 menus and 7*3=21 possible inputs.

ie.
running say this:

IF "%RUNNING_LOOP%"=="1"[color=red]^[/color]"ONE" (
		SET /A RUNNING_LOOP=%RUNNING_LOOP%+1
		ECHO %USER_INPUT% is not a valid response
		)

compared to this:

IF "%RUNNING_LOOP%"=="ONE" (
		SET /A RUNNING_LOOP=%RUNNING_LOOP%+1
		ECHO %USER_INPUT% is not a valid response
		)
IF "%RUNNING_LOOP%"=="1" (
		SET /A RUNNING_LOOP=%RUNNING_LOOP%+1
		ECHO %USER_INPUT% is not a valid response
		)

Another way I could get around doing this is assigning somewhere for the IF statement to GOTO and then just make them common, but after a while of doing this the hierarchy turns into absolute hell.

IF "%RUNNING_LOOP%"=="ONE" GOTO START
IF "%RUNNING_LOOP%"=="1" GOTO START
:START
	SET /A RUNNING_LOOP=%RUNNING_LOOP%+1
	ECHO %USER_INPUT% is not a valid response

:LINE2

:LINE3

:LINE4
	ECHO Think of a few pages of these lines and you see what I mean by hell.

can you use OR or || to do that or something, I dont really know much about batch jobs though, so if this is the dumbest suggestion ever then please dont tell me

OR works.....I could have sworn I'd already tried it

the lovely OR
