Is there any code system like below :
#echo off
set /p location=Type Folder Location
copy "%location%\file.txt" "c:\Folder"
if copy is done goto ok
if not goto failed
:ok
echo File is copyed succesfully
:failed
echo File is not copyed
echo.
pause
exit
#echo off
set /p location=Type Folder Location
copy "%location%\file.txt" "c:\Folder"
if errorlevel 1 goto failed
:ok
echo File is copied succesfully
goto done
:failed
echo File is not copied
:done
echo.
pause
exit
Normally, when a command succeeds, the "magic" variable errorlevel is set to zero; if it fails, to non-zero.
The syntax if errorlevel n will be true if errorlevel is n or greater than n (this last point is important - if errorlevel 0 will always be true (in normal circumstances).
Unlike many languages, batch has no concept of the end of a "procedure" - it simply continues execution line-by-line until it reaches the end-of-file. Consequently, you need to goto :eof after completing the mainline, otherwise execution will continue through the subroutine code. :EOF is a predefined label understood by CMD to mean end of file. The colon is required.
(in this case, the goto done skips over the 'failed' message - often you want to terminate the batch under certain circumstances. there you'd use goto :eof)
Like #Magoo saids in your case you just need 1 condition to go forward.
But to answer your question: How to mention If else condition in batch file
#echo off
set /a $var=1
if %$var%==1 (goto:ok) else (goto:nok)
:ok
echo OK
exit/b
:nok
echo NOK
You can change the value of $var to check it

Scenario: I have a pre-commit batch script that checks for blank comments, and calls a vbscript file for authorization of the user.
The vbscript file then exits by wscript.echo 1 or wscript.echo 0 after which the control comes back to the batch file to exit with success or failure.
#ECHO OFF
set REPOS=%1
set TXN_NAME=%2
set DEBUG=0
SET ThisScriptsDirectory=%~dp0
set svnlook = "C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\"
REM: check for blank comment
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('%svnlook% svnlook author -t %TXN_NAME% %REPOS%') do set AUTH_NAME=%%a
%svnlook% svnlook log %REPOS% -t %TXN_NAME% | findstr .................... > nul
if %errorlevel% gtr 0 (goto err) else (goto noerr)
:err
echo. 1>&2
echo Your commit has been blocked because you didn't enter a comment. 1>&2
echo Write a log message describing the changes made and try again. 1>&2
echo Thanks 1>&2
exit 1
:noerr
for /f %%i in ('cscript.exe //nologo %ThisScriptsDirectory%pre-commiting.vbs %REPOS% %TXN_NAME% %ThisScriptsDirectory% %AUTH_NAME%') do set vars = %%i
if %vars% == "0" ( goto success) else (goto failure)
:failure
echo. 1>&2
echo You do not have the permissions to work on this repository. 1>&2
echo Request modifications access from support team. 1>&2
echo Thanks 1>&2
exit 1
:success
echo Commit Authorized...
exit 0
I tried doing an echo of my vbscript to a file and it seems to return 1 or 0 which is what I am expecting it to do..
Thanks in advance. . .
The spaces in the set command are important, and included both in the value and in the name of the variable.
....
.... set "vars=%%i"
if operators will only work if the left and the right operands follow the same rules. If you quote one value, quote also the other. If not, one value will have quotes, the other not and condition will always evalueate to false
if "%vars%"=="0"
if %vars%==0
if "%vars%" equ "0"
if %vars% equ 0
Spaces are significant in SET assignments.
You have set vars = %%i, which defines a variable named "vars[space]", with a value of "[space]0" or "[space]1". Simply remove the spaces before and after the equal sign.
set vars=%%i
I used both the solutions given here..
I modified my loop where the set statement is used.
do set "vars=%%i"
I modified my comparison operator by adding quotes on both the sides
if "%vars%"=="0" ( goto success) else (goto failure)
and the code ran like a knife on butter :)
+1 to both for a nice explanation..
Thanks,
Venkat.
I am writing a batch script that will loop through each line of a text file, (each line containing a filename) check if the file exists and then runs the file and moves it.
Here is my batch script:
REM Loop through each line of input.txt
FOR /F "tokens=1-3 delims=, " %%i IN (./ready/input.txt) DO (
ECHO.
ECHO.
ECHO.
ECHO Check %%i exists, set error flag if it doesnt
if not exist .\ready\%%i set errorlevel=2
echo return code is %errorlevel%
ECHO Run %%i if it exists
if errorlevel 0 call .\ready\%%i
ECHO Move %%i to archive if no error occured
if errorlevel 0 copy .\ready\%%i .\archive\%mydate%_%mytime%_%%j_%%k_%%i
ECHO Copy line of text to the new output.txt file if an error occured
if %errorlevel% NEQ 0 >>output.txt %%i, %%j, %%k
)
Here is the output:
I do not understand why the "if errorlevel" is not working as expected... if the file does not exist (as in this example where it does not exist) it should NOT try to run the file, it should NOT copy the file, and it should echo a 2 not a 0
Edit 1: I was reading another SO Post regarding "delayed environment variable expansion" I am not sure if this issue is related
ERRORLEVEL and %ERRORLEVEL% are two different variables. That means your code with echo return code is %errorlevel% and if %errorlevel% NEQ 0 >>output.txt %%i, %%j, %%k is probably wrong.
ERRORLEVEL is builtin and used to fetch the result of the last command. You can use it like:
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 ECHO error level is 1 or more
ERRORLEVEL cannot be set, just like bash does not let you set ?= ...
%ERRORLEVEL% is an environmental variable. If %ERRORLEVEL% is set, then its used in your script when you use %ERRORLEVEL%. If %ERRORLEVEL% is not set AND if command extensions are enabled, then it falls back to ERRORLEVEL. ERRORLEVEL does not update %ERRORLEVEL%.
Raymond Chen has a good blog entry on it: ERRORLEVEL is not %ERRORLEVEL%. Some of the content in this answer was shamelessly lifted from it.
#ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
DEL output.txt 2>nul
REM Loop through each line of input.txt
FOR /F "tokens=1-3 delims=, " %%i IN (.\ready\input.txt) DO (
ECHO.
ECHO.
ECHO.
ECHO Check %%i exists, set error flag if it doesnt
if exist .\ready\%%i (set "errorflag=") ELSE (set errorflag=2)
CALL echo return code is %%errorflag%%
ECHO Run %%i if it exists
if NOT DEFINED errorflag (
call .\ready\%%i
ECHO Move %%i to archive if no error occured
if errorlevel 1 (SET errorflag=3) ELSE (ECHO copy .\ready\%%i .\archive\%mydate%_%mytime%_%%j_%%k_%%i)
)
ECHO Copy line of text to the new output.txt file if an error occured
if DEFINED errorflag >>output.txt ECHO %%i, %%j, %%k
)
GOTO :EOF
Here's a rewritten procedure.
Note: output.txt is deleted at the start, else the >> would append to any existing file. 2>nul suppresses error messages if the delete fails (eg. file not exist)
Within a block statement (a parenthesised series of statements), the ENTIRE block is parsed and THEN executed. Any %var% within the block will be replaced by that variable's value AT THE TIME THE BLOCK IS PARSED - before the block is executed.
Hence, IF (something) else (somethingelse) will be executed using the values of %variables% at the time the IF is encountered.
Two common ways to overcome this are 1) to use setlocal enabledelayedexpansion and use !var! in place of %var% to access the chnaged value of var or 2) to call a subroutine to perform further processing using the changed values.
Note therefore the use of CALL ECHO %%var%% which displays the changed value of var. CALL ECHO %%errorlevel%% displays, but sadly then RESETS errorlevel.
IF DEFINED var is true if var is CURRENTLY defined.
ERRORLEVEL is a special varable name. It is set by the system, but if set by the user, the user-assigned value overrides the system value.
IF ERRORLEVEL n is TRUE if errorlevel is n OR GREATER THAN n. IF ERRORLEVEL 0 is therefore always true.
The syntax SET "var=value" (where value may be empty) is used to ensure that any stray spaces at the end of a line are NOT included in the value assigned.
The required commands are merely ECHOed for testing purposes. After you've verified that the commands are correct, change ECHO COPY to COPY to actually copy the files.
I used the following input.txt:
seterr1.bat, J1, K1
seterr5.bat,J2,K2
seterr0.bat,J3 K3
seterr5.bat, J4, K4
notexist.bat, J5, K5
With existing files seterr*.bat which contain
#ECHO OFF
EXIT /b 1
(where the 1 in the last line determines the errorlevel returned)
and received the resultant output:
Check seterr1.bat exists, set error flag if it doesnt
return code is
Run seterr1.bat if it exists
Move seterr1.bat to archive if no error occured
Copy line of text to the new output.txt file if an error occured
Check seterr5.bat exists, set error flag if it doesnt
return code is
Run seterr5.bat if it exists
Move seterr5.bat to archive if no error occured
Copy line of text to the new output.txt file if an error occured
Check seterr0.bat exists, set error flag if it doesnt
return code is
Run seterr0.bat if it exists
Move seterr0.bat to archive if no error occured
copy .\ready\seterr0.bat .\archive\__J3_K3_seterr0.bat
Copy line of text to the new output.txt file if an error occured
Check seterr5.bat exists, set error flag if it doesnt
return code is
Run seterr5.bat if it exists
Move seterr5.bat to archive if no error occured
Copy line of text to the new output.txt file if an error occured
Check notexist.bat exists, set error flag if it doesnt
return code is 2
Run notexist.bat if it exists
Copy line of text to the new output.txt file if an error occured
Note that the COPY is merely ECHOed as I mentioned earlier.
and output.txt
seterr1.bat, J1, K1
seterr5.bat, J2, K2
seterr5.bat, J4, K4
notexist.bat, J5, K5
Use something like the following subroutine:
:return
ECHO #exit /b %1 >ret.cmd
CALL ret.cmd
GOTO :eof
Then use it like this:
:Attempt
SETLOCAL
CALL somethingThatFails
SET retcode=!errorlevel!
CALL somethingThatPasses : don't care about the errorlevel here
CALL :return !retcode!
ENDLOCAL
CALL :eof
So, the whole thing would looke something like:
test.cmd...
#ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
CALL :Attempt
IF !errorlevel! NEQ 0 (ECHO Attempt Failed) ELSE (ECHO Attempt succeeded!)
GOTO :eof
:Attempt
SETLOCAL
CALL somethingThatFails
SET retcode=!errorlevel!
CALL somethingThatPasses : don't care about the errorlevel here
CALL :return %retcode%
ENDLOCAL
CALL :eof
:return
ECHO #exit /b %1 >return.cmd
CALL ret.bat
GOTO :eof
somethingthatfails.cmd...
DIR some command that fails >nul 2>&1
somethingthatpasses.cmd...
DIR >nul 2>&1
The one side effect of this is a file laying around called ret.cmd. I usually use an :end subroutine that does cleanup and would delete it.
There is an easy way to set the %errorlevel% with a trick I learned several years ago:
:: force errorlevel to 1
#(call)
echo %errorlevel%
:: force errorlevel to 0
#(call )
echo %errorlevel%
pause
The space after call is necessary to set the %errorlevel% to 0.
Update: After researching this, I found a reference here.
For posterity, when specifically setting it to 0, I like
ver >nul
ver.exe always returns 0.
This is designed to execute the %%i item only if it exists and follow through with checking for errors and move or log. if the %%i item doesn't exist then it will do nothing.
REM Loop through each line of input.txt
FOR /F "tokens=1-3 delims=, " %%i IN (.\ready\input.txt) DO (
ECHO.
ECHO.
ECHO.
ECHO Check %%i exists, execute it if it does
if exist .\ready\%%i (
call .\ready\%%i
ECHO Move %%i to archive if no error occured
if not errorlevel 1 (
copy .\ready\%%i .\archive\%mydate%_%mytime%_%%j_%%k_%%i
) else (
ECHO Copy line of text to the new output.txt file if an error occurred
>>output.txt %%i, %%j, %%k
)
)
)
for me, simple use of cmd /c exit 2 worked to set the errorlevel and use it locally in a batch file and even after it ended to ask for the errorlevel outside:
set errorlevel=2
:
cmd /c exit %errorlevel%
:
if errorlevel 3 echo 3
if errorlevel 2 echo 2
if errorlevel 1 echo 1
if errorlevel 1 echo 0
Results
>test.bat
2
1
0
>if errorlevel 2 echo 2

My batch file always returns PLUGINS instead of going to the desired place when I press any number between those prompted. What could the problem stem from?
#echo off ECHO Control Panel initialized.
:BEGIN
CHOICE /N /C:1234 /M "PICK A NUMBER (1(PLUGINS), 2(MOTD), 3(LOGS),
4(END)"%1
IF %%ERRORLEVEL ==1 GOTO ONE
IF %%ERRORLEVEL ==2 GOTO TWO
IF %%ERRORLEVEL ==3 GOTO THREE
IF %%ERRORLEVEL ==4 GOTO END
:ONE
ECHO PLUGINS
explorer \\192.168.1.16\Server\Server-Dedicated Slightly\Here is the
Actual Server dir\plugins
GOTO BEGIN
:TWO
ECHO MOTD
notepad \\192.168.1.16\Server\Server-Dedicated Slightly\Here is the
Actual Server dir\plugins\Essentials\motd

ECHO LOGS

Actual Server dir\server
GOTO BEGIN
:END
PAUSE
Three problems:
ERRORLEVEL checks for the given value, or above, so you have to order them from HIGH to LOW, not the other way around
it's ERRORLEVEL, not %%ERRORLEVEL
it's just ERRORLEVEL num
So, in short, you'll get
IF ERRORLEVEL 4 GOTO END
...
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO ONE
I have a simple function written to check for directories:
:direxist
if not exist %~1 (
echo %~1 could not be found, check to make sure your location is correct.
goto:end
) else (
echo %~1 is a real directory
goto:eof
)
:end is written as
:end
endlocal
I don't understand why the program would not stop after goto:end has been called. I have another function that uses the same method to stop the program and it work fine.
:PRINT_USAGE
echo Usage:
echo ------
echo <file usage information>
goto:end
In this instance, the program is stopped after calling :end; why would this not work in :direxist? Thank you for your help!
I suppose you are mixing call and goto statements here.
A label in a batch file can be used with a call or a goto, but the behaviour is different.
If you call such a function it will return when the function reached the end of the file or an explicit exit /b or goto :eof (like your goto :end).
Therefore you can't cancel your batch if you use a label as a function.
However, goto to a label, will not return to the caller.
Using a synatx error:
But there is also a way to exit the batch from a function.
You can create a syntax error, this forces the batch to stop.
But it has the side effect, that the local (setlocal) variables will not be removed.
#echo off
call :label hello
call :label stop
echo Never returns
exit /b
:label
echo %1
if "%1"=="stop" goto :halt
exit /b
:halt
call :haltHelper 2> nul
:haltHelper
()
exit /b
Using CTRL-C:
Creating an errorcode similar to the CTRL-C errorcode stops also the batch processing.
After the exit, the setlocal state is clean!
See #dbenham's answer Exit batch script from inside a function
Using advanced exception handling:
This is the most powerful solutions, as it's able to remove an arbitrary amount of stack levels, it can be used to exit only the current batch file and also to show the stack trace.
It uses the fact, that (goto), without arguments, removes one element from the stack.
See Does Windows batch support exception handling?
jeb's solution works great. But it may not be appropriate in all circumstances. It has 2 potential drawbacks:
1) The syntax error will halt all batch processing. So if a batch script called your script, and your script is halted with the syntax error, then control is not returned to the caller. That might be bad.
2) Normally there is an implicit ENDLOCAL for every SETLOCAL when batch processing terminates. But the fatal syntax error terminates batch processing without the implicit ENDLOCAL! This can have nasty consequences :-( See my DosTips post SETLOCAL continues after batch termination! for more information.
Update 2015-03-20 See https://stackoverflow.com/a/25474648/1012053 for a clean way to immediately terminate all batch processing.
The other way to halt a batch file within a function is to use the EXIT command, which will exit the command shell entirely. But a little creative use of CMD can make it useful for solving the problem.
#echo off
if "%~1" equ "_GO_" goto :main
cmd /c ^""%~f0" _GO_ %*^"
exit /b
:main
call :label hello
call :label stop
echo Never returns
exit /b
:label
echo %1
if "%1"=="stop" exit
exit /b
I've got both my version named "daveExit.bat" and jeb's version named "jebExit.bat" on my PC.
I then test them using this batch script
#echo off
echo before calling %1
call %1
echo returned from %1
And here are the results
>test jebExit
before calling jebExit
hello
stop
>test daveExit
before calling daveExit
hello
stop
returned from daveExit
>
One potential disadvantage of the EXIT solution is that changes to the environment are not preserved. That can be partially solved by writing the environent to a temporary file before exiting, and then reading it back in.
#echo off
if "%~1" equ "_GO_" goto :main
cmd /c ^""%~f0" _GO_ %*^"
for /f "eol== delims=" %%A in (env.tmp) do set %%A
del env.tmp
exit /b
:main
call :label hello
set junk=saved
call :label stop
echo Never returns
exit /b
:label
echo %1
if "%1"=="stop" goto :saveEnvAndExit
exit /b
:saveEnvAndExit
set >env.tmp
exit
But variables with newline character (0x0A) in the value will not be preserved properly.
If you use exit /b X to exit from the function then it will set ERRORLEVEL to the value of X. You can then use the || conditional processing symbol to execute a command if ERRORLEVEL is non zero.
#echo off
setlocal
call :myfunction PASS || goto :eof
call :myfunction FAIL || goto :eof
echo Execution never gets here
goto :eof
:myfunction
if "%1"=="FAIL" (
echo myfunction: got a FAIL. Will exit.
exit /b 1
)
echo myfunction: Everything is good.
exit /b 0
Output from this script is:
myfunction: Everything is good.
myfunction: got a FAIL. Will exit.
Here's my solution that will support nested routines if all are checked for errorlevel
I add the test for errolevel at all my calls (internal or external)
#echo off
call :error message&if errorlevel 1 exit /b %errorlevel%<
#echo continuing
exit /b 0
:error
#echo in %0
#echo message: %1
set yes=
set /p yes=[no]^|yes to continue
if /i "%yes%" == "yes" exit /b 0
exit /b 1
So, how I have it done right now, is that it that it calls another bat file to update it, and then that batch file updates, and sets %ERRORLEVEL% to 1. At the start of the original program, it checks if errorlevel is 1, if yes, it goes to the main menu, but right now, it doesn't call the update file, it just goes to the menu. This is my code
Main program
IF %errorlevel% EQU 1 goto begin
call updater.bat
:begin
echo MENU
Updater
set=errorlevel 1
wget (updatelink here)
call mainprogram.bat
Right now, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, which leads me to believe that some command is somehow increasing the errorlevel, but the only code before the errorlevel check is
#echo off
color 0f
cls
set currentver=v0.5.6
(check code)IF %errorlevel% EQU 1 goto begin
https://code.google.com/p/flashcart-helper/source/browse/trunk/0.6/FlashcartHelperRobocopy.bat
Here is what I have right now.
Don't play around with errorlevel. It's an internal variable. At the start of a batch, errorlevel will be 0 because all you've done is set a local variable. This will almost always ( never say never ) succeed. Also, if errorlevel is 1, and I'm reading this correctly you also seem to have an infinite loop? From what I understand of what you've said your batches are like this:
Main
#echo off
color 0f
cls
set currentver=v0.5.6
IF %errorlevel% EQU 1 goto begin
call updater.bat
:begin
echo MENU
Updater
set=errorlevel 1
wget (updatelink here)
call mainprogram.bat
As errorlevel get's overwritten each time you do anything you're asking for trouble. Change %errorlevel% to %error% and it should solve your problems. As it's a local environment variable it should also be passed between batch files. Just be careful not to use error elsewhere.

You can do that through these steps：
1.put two files in server,a config file, a higher version bat file which need to update; set last version num. in config file.
2.client bat should be checked update at every startup time. you can read the news version in server config file, then compared to local bat file version. if not equal, so do update, else other wise.
Do you have any problems?
