Solve : How can a .BAT file distinguish a file from a folder??

1.	Solve : How can a .BAT file distinguish a file from a folder??
Answer» When an 'if exist' command tells me that ENTITY does exist, how do I TELL WHETHER ENTITY is a file or a folder? This little snippet may HELP: Code: [Select]echo off set /p fname=Enter file name: for %%v in ("%fname%") do ( if exist %%~sv\nul (echo "%fname%" IS a directory) else (echo "%fname%" is NOT a directory) ) The code will PROMPT for user INPUT. Feel free to tweak the code as you see fit. Good luck. Code: [Select]for /f "delims=" %%A in ("%entity%") do set attribs=%%~aA if "%attribs:~0,1%"=="d" echo %attribs% is a directory
