Batch Programing

Could someone possible tell me why this program does not set %user% as "first or second"? It simply makes %user% either bu1 or bu2, but wont resolve them. Thanks so much!

1. set bu1=first
2. set bu2=second
3. set bcount=1
4. set buusers=2
5. :start
6. set user=bu%bcount%
7. echo %btemp% %user%
8.
9. if %bcount%==%buusers% goto end
10. set /a bcount=%bcount%+1
11. goto start
12. :end
13. echo all done

You need to first enable delayed expansion of variables. Then you need to use exclamation mark on the outer variable. See example below.

  SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
  set user=!bu%bcount%!
