Post subject: If-then-else statement in a batch file Archived from groups: microsoft>public>win2000>file_system (more info?)
I'm running a batch file to unzip some pdf files, and print them. I don't
want the program to run if there isn't a zip file available. I'm trying to
run the following which only gives me a syntax error.
IF not EXIST
"P:\Pyrwin\Reports\shormans\Shorman_eob_print_jobs\processing\working\*.zip"
GOTO END

If you put this all on one single line then it will work:
if not exist "P:\Pyr...\*.zip" goto :eof
Note the inbuilt :eof label, preceded by a colon.

by adding parentheses, multi lines could be use
if not exit FILENAME (
REM other actions
goto END
)
