Batch File user input question

[Skyzoomer]

Running WinXP and Vista. Could someone post the batch file code that will allow just pressing the Enter key to accept the default value?

Example code:
Set /p Choice=Enter the number of copies and press Enter:

If a number is typed and user presses Enter, all is well.
But if the user just presses Enter without typing anything, the batch file closes without giving me a chance to process his action.

How can I code this so the user can just press Enter to accept the default value?

Thanks,
Sky

Found that the batch file does not exit because "Enter" was pressed without typing a character first. The batch file exits when it tries my test to see if the user didn't type anything.

Here's some sample code:

@echo off
Set /p Choice=Enter the number of copies and press Enter:
if %Choice%=="" echo Only Enter key pressed.
echo Got this far without batch file quitting. Choice was %Choice%
pause

If I type a number or letter, line-4 displays the character I typed. But if I don't type anything and just press "Enter", the batch file exits without ever getting to line-4.

Any ideas on how to test that only the Enter key was pressed?
