You misunderstood, IF EXIST does exists but has to be used in a special way for directory checks ;-) >> Is there something like this in FD? Yes of course: Type "if /?" to see how it should work. >> IF NOT EXIST X:\ZZZ MD X:\ZZZ >> >> Everything in front of the MD is ignored, and there is an error if >> X:\ZZZ does exist. I made some experiments: IF EXIST and IF NOT EXIST do what they should do for files, but apparently cannot check existence of directories. The trick, which also should work with MS DOS, is to use a CHARACTER DEVICE because those "exist" in all directories by definition: IF NOT EXIST X:\ZZZ\NUL MKDIR X:\ZZZ That does what you wanted to do :-) Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!
