Return to Introduction     

if number label

if exist filename label

 

The if script command has two formats. The first format tests the return code of the previous script command and branches to label if the return code is greater than or equal to the number specified in the command. The second format tests if a file exists and branches to label if the specified filename exists in the current directory.

 

Where:

 

numberis a numeric value. If the reply code from the previous script command is equal to or higher than number, the if command branches to label. Otherwise, processing continues with the next script command
 
labelis a label somewhere in the script.

 

filenameis the name of a file in the current directory.

 

 

 

Examples:

 

If 400 End

if 550 FileNotFound

If exist readme.txt ReadmeFound
