    Batch file to check directory

    Hello,
    I am trying to write a batch file which can check if the folder exists. I have tried this but non of the scripts work for me. Also, if the folder does not exist then it should report it in a file that is it should be saved in the file. In short it should be stored in the log file. If you guys have any idea of how to do this then please let me know. Thanks in advance.

    Re: Batch file to check directory

    Hello,
    I had written a code in the excel that is a excel file, it detects and saves the files and folders in the desired location, but the problem with the at cod is if the folder does not exists then it gives me an error. Also, the stored data is in saved in the excel file, so , it becomes easy for further manipulation. I have a code which might interest you. This is to check if the folder exists or not
    here is the code
    Code:
    if exist folder\. command
    If I am not wrong then each directory has and .directory extension, so you can test it

    if exist "C:\test.ini" (
    echo. File Exists
    pause
    exit

    Code:
    @echo off
    if "%1"=="GoTo:" %1%2
    set err=
    set dir$=%dcmd%
    set dcmd=
    :: Put the necessary files below,
    :: with their sizes
    call %0 GoTo: check file1.dat 1024
    call %0 GoTo: check file2.dat 2048
    call %0 GoTo: check file3.dat 512
    set dcmd=%dir$%
    set dir$=

    Re: Batch file to check directory

    Hello,
    I think you want a code that can search in the entire drive for the specified directory. Have you though of the batch files location, if the batch file is in the specific directory then will it check the directory of itself. I guess you have understood what I am trying to say here.
    See Below
    Code:
    if exist "DIRECTORY B\NUL" echo Folder exists!
    If you are trying to use something like this in your code, then it will only check of the the current directory and not all the directories, you have to implement another logic to check it for all the directories.
