Batch File Time Clock

I created this batch file for a little mom and pops shop in the local area and I thought here would be a great place to post it. This is a simple little Time Clock batch file. It is comprised in two parts; one for recording the time, another for admin purposes. Feel free to play around with it, improve it, leave feedback, and hopefully we can all learn something new.

Timeclock.bat:

@echo off

color 0F

mode con cols=45 lines=3

Title Time Clock

Set mm=%DATE:~4,2%

Set dd=%DATE:~7,2%

Set yy=%DATE:~10,4%

:name

cls

echo %mm%-%dd%-%yy% %time%

set /p name=Enter Your Name:

if %name%==admin goto admin

set /p input=Enter Employee Number:

findstr %input% Employees.txt > temp1.txt

findstr %name% Employees.txt > temp2.txt

goto next

:next

set /p comp=<temp1.txt

if %input%==%comp% goto then

goto error

:then

set /p com=<temp2.txt

if %name%==%com% goto menu

goto error

:menu

del temp1.txt

cls

echo 1. Clock In?

echo 2. Clock out?

set /p c=

if "%c%"=="1" goto in

if "%c%"=="2" goto out

:in

echo %name%,%input%,IN,%time%,%date% >> "%userprofile%\Desktop\%mm%-%dd%-%yy%.csv"

goto end

:out

echo %name%,%input%,OUT,%time%,%date% >> "%userprofile%\Desktop\%mm%-%dd%-%yy%.csv"

goto end
