Hi,<br />
I want to get a batch file to continue if .txt files exist in the specified directory.<br />
I tried this:<br />
<br />
IF EXIST c:\test\*.txt GOTO END<br />
&lt;rest if batch file&gt;<br />
:END<br />
<br />
But this ran all the commands without .txt files.<br />
<br />
Please could someone tell me how to do this?<br />
<br />
Cheers,

Wildcard with IF EXIST doesn't work

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.
