use variables inside if and for loop

Solution 1:

What you need to do is put a SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion at the top of your script and use !s around your variables.

Delayed Expansion will cause variables to be expanded at execution time rather than at parse time, this option is turned on with the SETLOCAL command. When delayed expansion is in effect variables may be referenced using !variable_name! (in addition to the normal %variable_name% )

Delayed variable expansion is often useful when working with FOR Loops, normally an entire FOR loop is evaluated as a single command even if it spans multiple lines of a batch script.

Basically, the for loop gets parsed once. Each iteration of the loop, the statements get executes. By enabling this option, the variables can change on execution, without reparsing, i.e. within the loop.

@echo off
SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion

set n=11
set m=12
set /a nme=3
set /a mdiff=nme-1
pause
if %n% NEQ %m% (
    if %mdiff% LEQ 3 (
        for /l %%C in (1,1,3) do (
            if %%C EQU 1 (
                set mon=Apr
                set num=1!mon!
            )
        )
    )
)
echo %num%
pause
