How to write a batch file with offering some options for user?

Question

I think I have what I want (described below), thank you so much again, but please two more options... When I want to add in sub menu two next options for example "B" like go on Begin and "E" like Exit. It will be like:

Hello I am Zedd, please choose one app bellow:

1. Notepad
2. Calc
3. Other

When I touch "3" like other I will get next menu:

1. FFox
2. IE
3. or B. Go Back
4. or E. Exit

How can I do this? And can I use just number 0-9 or I can use also 10,11 etc.?

Examople of code maybe like this?

@echo off  
:begin  
echo.  
echo Hello, I'm Zedd...  
echo.  
echo Choose:
echo.  
echo 1. Notepad  
echo 2. Calc  
echo 3. Other  
echo.  
choice /c 123  
if %errorlevel%==1 goto :Notepad  
if %errorlevel%==2 goto :Calc 
if %errorlevel%==3 goto :Other

:Notepad  
start notepad.exe  
goto :eof 

:Calc  
start calc.exe  
goto :eof 

:Other  
echo.  
echo Choose:  
echo.  
echo 1. FFox  
echo 2. IE  
echo 3 or B. Back
echo 4 or E. Exit  
echo.  
choice /c 1234(maybe 12be if I can use also b and e, or I can use 3,4... is possible here use 10,11,12 etc.?)    
if %errorlevel%==1 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"  
if %errorlevel%==2 "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"  
if %errorlevel%==3 goto :begin?  
if %errorlevel%==4 exit?  
goto :other (I want to stay in other for choosing next apps but I want to be able to go back or exit)

Also, can I do it with note, so when I choose FFox there will be message "You choosed FFox" etc.?

Hope I described it clearly, if you can help me, I will be happy, thank you!

Could you please advise me on how to write commands in CMD using a batch file that would include different options and actions?

I've researched a nice description of the functions I can use, but I'm not able to put together them functionally.

Here's an example of the output message that I want when my batch file runs on Windows:

I need to do batch, for example "test.bat"

I think this is the easiest way. In this batch I want to have some text and some choices. For example bellow:

Hello, I am Zedd, here is few options for you, please choose one. 

1. Run notepad.exe 
2. Other apps

After entering number 1, Notepad is opened. After entering number 2, more options should be displayed:

1. Firefox
2. More informations
   etc.

I need to run this batch file on Windows.

What is best way how to do this?

It can be full-screen or just within a window.

Also I need open apps or pictures, etc.

Answer 1

(Edited to show the usage of a second level of choices)

just a combination of echo and choice commands:

@echo off
:begin
echo Hello, I am Zedd, here is few options for you, please choose one. 
echo 1. Run notepad.exe 
echo 2. Other apps
choice /c 12
if %errorlevel%==1 goto :notepad
if %errorlevel%==2 goto :other    
:notepad
echo you choosed Notepad.
start notepad.exe
goto :eof

:other
echo 1. Mozilla Firefox
echo 2. Microsoft Internet Explorer
echo 3. MyBatchFile
echo B. back to main menue
echo E. exit
choice /c 123B
if %errorlevel%==1 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
if %errorlevel%==2 "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"
if %errorlevel%==3 (
  echo you choosed MyBatchFile
  call "c:\test\mybatch.bat"
  goto :begin
)
if %errorlevel%==4 (
  echo you entered "B" to go back to main menue
  goto :begin
)
if %errorlevel%==5 (
  echo bye bye...
  exit /b
)
goto :other

You can add the /n parameter to choice to supress [1,2]?

EDIT 02-sep (please don't change your question, this may invalidate already existing answers; ask a new question instead, referencing this old question)

"How can I do this? And can I use just number 0-9 or I can use also 10,11 etc.?"

No. choice reacts on keypresses, not on input strings, so only single numbers or letters. Although 3 or B. Back is possible: choice /c 123b4e will return errorlevel 1 for 1, 2 for 2, 3 for 3, 4 for b or B, 5 for 4, 6 for e or E. (read choice /? for details). Then

...
if %errorlevel%==3 goto :back   REM this was a "3"
if %errorlevel%==4 goto :back   REM this was a "B"
...

"Also, can I do it with note, so when I choose FFox there will be message "You choosed FFox" etc.?"

Yes. Just add an echo after each label (see example above with the :notepad label.

Answer 2

Yes, it could be possible to do that in plain batch commands. I would suggest, though, use a language like C++ or C, to do that...but if you must use batch, here are a lot of commands that you can play with.
