Is it possible to have a batch file display a message if two conditions are met? For instance...

@ECHO OFF
IF EXIST C:\test.txt AND C:\test.exe GOTO blah
:blah
ECHO blah
EXIT

returns the error "AND" is not a recognized...." We get the same error message using the OR command. It's possible to make it using GOTOs

@ECHO OFF
IF EXIST C:\test.txt GOTO test1
ECHO test.txt does not exist
GOTO exit
:test1
IF EXIST C:\test.exe GOTO blah
ECHO test.txt exist, test.exe does not
:exit
ECHO press any key to exit
PAUSE>NUL
:blah
ECHO blah

but it is unnecessarily tedious. So can anyone help me make it somewhat easier?

Is this purposely in the XP forum ?

Well, it had to do with XP... it would be easier if I was running MS-DOS

Truth be told, I couldn't find a better forum for it.

Really ?

Oops... there seems to be a forum known as "Software development"... Would you be so kind as to move this thread for me?
