Command line string Variable comparison

command-line

Solution

Try this:

if "%ComputerName%"=="A513242" (exit) else (echo "else taken")

Problem

I've been trying to compare my computername to some pre-set string. From reading around on google, namely http://commandwindows.com/batchfiles-branching.htm, I've attempted the following and many variants of the same line with `/I`, `"%ComputerName"`, `A513242` etc ``` IF (%ComputerName% == "A513242") ( EXIT) ELSE ( ECHO "else taken") ``` where "A513242" is the result of calling `ECHO %ComputerName%` this seems to always take the "else taken" branch. Any help as to why the (`EXIT`) case is not being taken/ what syntactical mistake I am making would be appreciated.
