Conditional statements in batch files

[Gillian Anderson]

Hello,
I am using Microsoft Windows XP. I am trying a batch script where I can use the conditional statements in the batch script. Also, if you can explain me how the if statement works then it would be appreciated. I have studied the if statement but any more information on the same will add to my knowledge. Thanks in advance.

for %%v in (2007_088.h20v08.hdf 2007_088.h20v09.hdf 2007_088.h20v10.hdf 2007_088.h21v08.hdf 2007_088.h21v09.hdf 2007_088.h21v10.hdf 2007_088.h22v08.hdf 2007_088.h22v09.hdf 2007_088.h22v10.hdf) do (
	if exist %%v call set /a cnt=%%cnt%%+1
	)
if cnt  9 goto :eof

Hello,
The following script will compare the two strings using the conditional statement used in the script
Take a look at the following code

echo off
bcc32 %1.c > temp.txt
GOTO result%temporlevel%
:result1
IF %2==default (notepad.exe temp.txt) ELSE (%2 temp.txt)
GOTO end
:result0
%1
:end

Hello,
If you need to study the errors which are possible in the batch file which using the conditional statements, then you can see the below example

echo off
bcc32 %1.c > temp.txt
IF %temlvl% 1 (notepad temp.txt) ELSE %1

The above code will generate an error, so now you can see the error and study it. I think this will help you. If you have any more queries regarding this the you post back.

@echo off

:numbers

goto :numbers

The conditional statements here is explained very well here.
