Multiple checks in IF

[BVKmohan]

Hi guys

Is there a way to perform multiple checks in single IF condition using the || or && operators

like example:

my script has to take hostnames which starts with either of these 5 characters : s; S; n; N; 10

What I am asking is can i put something like this

IF "%hostname:~0,1%" EQU "s" || "S" || "n" || "N" || "10" (do x) else (do y)

I think you would need multiple IF statements. You can eliminate case by using /I. But, a for loop like this can help clean it up.

Code: Select all

for %%a in (s n 10) do IF /I "%%a"=="%var1%" (do X) ELSE (do Y)

hope this helps get you on the right track
