Is there a way to do this?

Maybe u should do some homework.

I already figured it out, it doesn't work.

I've done it differently, I started by defining a variable, then do the first check and if necessary change the variable, then do the second check and if necessary change again the variable.

thanks though,
Jvuz

What are you trying to do? Maybe we can help.

In the beginning of the script I start by checking which version of OS it is by using the following:

Code: Select all

FOR /F "tokens=3 delims= " %%p IN ('ver ^| find /i "XP"') do (set ostype=XP)
FOR /F "tokens=3* delims= " %%q IN ('ver ^| find /i "6.0"') do (set ostype=Vista)
FOR /F "tokens=3* delims= " %%q IN ('ver ^| find /i "6.1"') do (set ostype=W7)

Then I check the bit

Code: Select all

if exist "c:\windows\syswow64" set bit=64
set bit=32

Now i need to check for both because of differences in the path

xp: c:\documents and settings
vista/W7: c:\users

32bit: c:\program files\
64bit: c:\program files (x86)\

I'll need to check if its
xp 32bit
xp 64bit
not xp (vista/W7) 32bit
not xp (vista/W7) 64bit

Is this what u talk about ?

Code: Select all

if 1 equ 1 if 1 equ 1 (

      echo.inner if
)

Code: Select all

if /i ["%ostype%"] equ ["WinXP"] (

   echo.outer if
   if exist "c:\documents and settings" (

      echo.inner if
   )
)

I haven't test that one, because at the end I could do it via a vbs script which didn't need to check out those things.

If you do it in vbscript and now batch you are down grading.
Take a porsche and trade it in for a volvo makes no sense.
Please do your homework before asking questions.

Further more wmic is your friend learn how to use it, and if that fails
learn the registry and the reg command so you can just read the keys.

Both of you, would be obliged if you were less obnoxious.

jvuz, the simple answer to your original question is as Ed described in his second response.

if ... and ... (and ... etc) do

Code: Select all

if %num1%==1 if %num2%==2 (

)

[jvuz]

Thank you orrange_batch. i'll try it out.

Thanks,

it works that way

Welcome as always.

You can handle OR logic by watching your grouping of multiple IF conditions, and using the ELSE statement. Two small examples:

Code: Select all

if %num1%==1 if %num2%==2 (

) else if %num3%==3 (

) else (

)

If %num1%==1:
If %num2%==2, do first code, else if %num3%==3, do second code, else do third code.

Code: Select all

if %num1%==1 (
if %num2%==2 (

) else if %num3%==3 (

) else (

)) else (

)

If %num1%==1 (else do last code):
If %num2%==2, do first code, else if %num3%==3, do second code, else do third code.
