Solve : Create directory if not already existing?

Answer»

Hi,

I have a newbiee question I guess. I would like to create a directory using a bat file. If the directory already exists I dont whant to do it. Something líke this.

rem Create directory
md ..\results

rem copy log file to results directory
cp file.txt ..\results\file.txt

The thing is that I run my bat file multiple TIME so I get a warning that says that the folder already exists. This only works the first time I run the script. I am running the bat file in XP.

Is there some way to do skip the creation if the folder already exists?What Operating System is this?Quote from: Carbon Dudeoxide on AUGUST 29, 2007, 04:00:48 AM
