Using FOR in batch programing

Question

I encounter a problem when using FOR in a batch script.

My batch file contain bellow :

Echo off
set max_page=2
for /l %%i IN (1,1,%max_page%) do (
echo.
echo  Page %%i off %max_page%
echo  ========================================================
echo page %%i

:find_server
set "result=true"
echo page %%i
wget -S --spider -t 1 http://portal/ 2> check_portal.txt
echo page %%i
for /f "skip=1 tokens=4" %%b in ('findstr /L "Connecting" check_portal.txt') do set status=%%b
echo page %%i
if "%status%"=="failed:" set result=false
echo page %%i
if "%result%"=="false" (
    goto :find_server
)else goto :server_connected

:server_connected
for /f "skip=3 tokens=2 delims=/" %%c in ('findstr /L "Location: " check_portal.txt') do set server_portal_upd=%%c
echo page %%i
)
pause

Result :

 Page 1 off 2
 ========================================================
page 1
page 1
page 1
page 1
page 1
page %i
Press any key to continue . . .

But if the line below is removed , the script runs successfully

:find_server
    set "result=true"
    echo page %%i
    wget -S --spider -t 1 http://portal/ 2> check_portal.txt
    echo page %%i
    for /f "skip=1 tokens=4" %%b in ('findstr /L "Connecting" check_portal.txt') do set status=%%b
    echo page %%i
    if "%status%"=="failed:" set result=false
    echo page %%i
    if "%result%"=="false" (
        goto :find_server
    )else goto :server_connected

    :server_connected
    for /f "skip=3 tokens=2 delims=/" %%c in ('findstr /L "Location: " check_portal.txt') do set server_portal_upd=%%c

Why Line 8 to appear page %i not page 1? where is the mistake? Correct me please. Thank you very much for your sugesstion

Labels :find_server etc. terminate the for loop. Try restructuring to use call :subroutineneame

BTW - there must be a space on both sides of the else keyword.
