This is what I'm trying to do:
Code: [Select]IF "%win_version%"=="xp" | "%win_version%"=="2000" | "%win_version%"=="2003" | "%win_version%"=="nt" (ECHO Hurray!)

It works when I only have one condition (IF "%win_version%"=="xp" ) but I need to check for a few more and if either is true, do something. You need different if statements.
If "%var%"=="XP" echo hooray
if "%var%"=="2000" echo hooray
...Here is a workaround
Code: [Select]set bool=0
IF "%win_version%"=="xp" set /a bool+=1
IF "%win_version%"=="2000" set /a bool+=1
IF "%win_version%"=="2003" set /a bool+=1
IF "%win_version%"=="nt" set /a bool+=1
IF %bool% GTR 0 (
    ECHO Hurray!
    ECHO Suitable version
    )
Ah, so there isn't a logical OR.

Thank you for your help, that workaround looks promising. QUOTE from: Kolya on April 13, 2010, 04:10:53 PM

you can learn a different language

What a surprise! I wasn't expecting that! 

I'm fairly certain Ghostdog is now mentioning alternatives such as python, grep, sed, etc. just because he knows it annoys ST, heh.

And hey! here's the best part about the python approach! it's cross-platform! now you can check what version of windows you have installed on Ubuntu!
