I need to check for a folder called data, which is in the same area as the batch file.
If it doesn't exist i need the folder 'data' to be created.

I have TRIED this so far, with no success:
Code: [Select]IF NOT EXIST data\. (
> data\.
)
Code: [Select]if exist data (
md data
)
Try that.Code: [Select]if NOT exist data (
md data
)

FIXED, Thanks.
Yeah, my bad. I forgot the NOT.

MD is pretty much the same as MKDIR.
They both create directories (A.K.A, folders)

C:\Documents and Settings\Brian> MD /?
Creates a directory.

MKDIR [drive:]path
MD [drive:]path

If Command Extensions are enabled MKDIR changes as follows:

MKDIR creates any intermediate directories in the path, if needed.
For example, assume \a does not exist then:

mkdir \a\b\c\d

is the same as:

mkdir \a
chdir \a
mkdir b
chdir b
mkdir c
chdir c
mkdir d

which is what you would have to type if extensions were disabled.

No problem. Glad to help.

One thing I should add (if you didn't already know this), In Command Prompt, if you type command /?, it will tell you what the command is and what it does.

Example:
