It looks better if you use "EQU 3" instead of "GTR 0", just like abc said.

And, yes, you'll have to change the code if the names are not "report x.pdf", where x can be 1, 2, or 3.

To see if they are there, you just have to use IF EXIST statements. @echo off pushd "%pdfpath%" ::%pdfpath% should be the path containing your PDFs set pdf=0 for %%n in (1 2 3) do if exist "report %%n.pdf" set /a pdf+=1 if %pdf% GTR 0 (echo There are %pdf% Report files in the fol...

I don't know if copy can do the trick, but try it.

Edit:
Nope, won't work.

What about delete all files that DO NOT match a list of extensions? for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /b /s /a') do ( if /i "%%~xa" NEQ ".ext" del /a /q /f "%%a" ) Edit Sorry, I misread your last line. You want a list of extensions. @echo off ::set your extension...

StrLen.exe is going to help me a lot. Thank you very much, Antonio.

Alternatively, you can use CALL or START [/WAIT]. These make your code more readable.

Maybe this piece of code will help you.

Insert these lines in your caller.bat and tell us if it does what you want it to.

Bulleyeaccuracy, no. The brackets enclose the command(s) after the IF condition and before the ELSE. e.g. if %minecraftsaver%==all (goto minecraftall) else goto minecraftbackup1 Also, I answered what will probably solve your problem on my first post. Try this if /i "%minecraftsaver%" == &q...

What he meant was probably referring to that line of code: if %minecraftsaver%==all goto minecraftall else goto minecraftbackuperror , and this part on the help: IF EXIST filename...

That's right. I don't even know why they took it off XP.

What does the help for makecab show? Wouldn't you rather use winRar or 7zip?

Well, you can do it with choice. But choice is not available on XP (unless you download it). With choice.exe, you can set a default answer and a timeout; if the timer reaches 0, this default option will be chosen. Download choice.exe from somewhere, put it in \windows\system32 (i put it there) and t...

Hey there. Try md tempFolder for /f "delims=" %%a in (temp.txt) do copy /b "%%a" tempFolder set /P file_name=What would you like to name your archive? makecab.exe tempFolder\* "%userprofile%\Desktop\%file_name%.cab" del temp.txt instead of set /p TOOLOUTPUT= < temp.txt ...

PRO The fsutil doesn't overwrite an existing file. I believe your "type" and "rem" lines will also not overwrite if you append instead of write, yet would still create a 0-byte file if it doesn't exist already. >>"test 1.txt" type nul >>"test 3.txt" rem. Livi...
