Windows 7 "If Exist" Error.

[BAT Beginner]

I try using
if exist
or
if not exist
on my new Win7 64-bit computer.
Unfortunently, I think they changed the code up, and I really need the code for If Exist in Windows 7 batch Files.

Hi BAT Beginner,

I don't believe that the syntax is changed. Would you show us the entire line or code?

Code: Select all

@echo off
if exist help.txt
goto yes
if not exist help.txt
goto no
:yes
Echo You Do have help.txt in this folder.
pause
:no
Echo You Do not have help.txt in this folder.
pause

You have to use it in one line with the command that should be executed.
For your example:

Code: Select all

@echo off &setlocal
if not exist help.txt goto no

Echo You Do have help.txt in this folder.
pause
goto :eof

:no
Echo You Do not have help.txt in this folder.
pause
