Hello ,

I am searching for a batch file that shows all folders in a current directory and takes user input to enter into a particular folder, this has to happen until the user finds his specific folder.

Thank you
When you say take input, do you mean a new folder path, or a password of some sort?

So the batch crawls a directory tree, and prompts to create a new folder each time? if this is intended, what will happen is because of how batch file do direcories, it will never stop because it will crawl into the newly created folder, and prompt.
