- NAME
- IF - test for conditionals in batch files
-
- SYNOPSIS
- IF <condition to test for>
-
- DESCRIPTION
- You can use this command to provide some logic for batch
- files. You can test for the presence of a file using the
- EXISTS <filename> keyword, you can compare two strings for
- equality (disregarding case) using the EQ keyword ( "string"
- EQ "string") you can test for the previous programs return
- codes WARN >= 5, ERROR >= 10, FAIL >= 20. You can also
- combine any one of these commands with NOT, which inverts
- the result. I.E., if a file does exists, then NOT EXISTS
- <file> will return FALSE, and cause the IF to fail. When IF
- fails, it moves the execution of the file ahead to the next
- ELSE or ENDIF command. ELSE and ENDIF are bound to the most
- recent IF.
