Is there an AND OPERATOR for batch FILE?

Any comment or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thank you.bitwise AND operator is &

Code: [Select] SET /A expression

The /A switch specifies that the string to the right of the equal sign
is a NUMERICAL expression that is evaluated. The expression evaluator
is pretty simple and supports the following operations, in decreasing
order of precedence:

() - grouping
! ~ - - unary operators
* / % - arithmetic operators
+ - - arithmetic operators
<< >> - logical shift
& - bitwise and
^ - bitwise exclusive or
| - bitwise or
= *= /= %= += -= - assignment
&= ^= |= <<= >>=
, - expression separator

If you use any of the logical or modulus operators, you will need to
enclose the expression string in quotes.
I apologize if this sounds stupid. I wrote a small program to test it out but it does not work with an AND operand, “&” as you have indicated. It does not display anything.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks (in ADVANCE)

Here’s the code:

@ECHO OFF

set /a five=5
set /a three=3

if ((5 equ %five%) & (3 equ %three%)) (echo TRUE) else (echo FALSE)
pause


That is a logical AND. (Not bitwise and) Not available directly in batch. Has to be simulated.

Code: [Select]if 5 equ %five% if 2 equ %three% (echo true) else (echo false)
