Batch files are weakly typed, so it is always a better approach to validate all the inputs in batch file programming. Check variables before using them Always check the new variable before using them or initializing them because they might already have been defined. @echo off if exist C:set2.txt echo 'File exists' if exist C:set3.txt (echo 'File exists') else (echo 'File does not exist') Output. Let’s assume that there is a file called set2.txt in the C drive and that there is no file called set3.txt. Then, following will be the output of the above code. 'File exists' 'File does not.

You Don’t Have the Right Program

There are specific computer programs that are compatible with BATCH files, and you may not have one installed on your computer. The most common program is Unknown Apple II File. Try installing this program and see if you can open the file. You can download this program from the developer's website, the Microsoft Store / Apple App Store, or popular download portals.

You’re Not Sure of the File Type

Knowing the file type can help you open BATCH files. Different file extensions can be associated with different types of files. Uncommon Files usually use the BATCH extension. You might have a program installed on your computer that is designed to open this type of file. A good first step is trying to open the file in that program.

If you don’t know what type of file the BATCH file is, finding this information is simple. Please follow the instructions below depending on the type of operating system you are using.

On a Windows Computer:

1. Right-click the file icon.
2. Select “Properties” from the drop-down menu.
3. Find the file type listed under “Type of File”.

On a Mac:

1. Right-click on the file icon.
2. Select “More Info” from the drop-down menu.
3. Look for the file type listed under “Kind”.

You Need Help From the Developer

If no programs will open the BATCH file, you can ask software developers for help. They know their software better than anyone, and they might be able to explain why you can’t open the file. See the chart below to find the developers for the most common programs used to open BATCH files.

You Need a Universal File Viewer

A universal file viewer, like File Magic (Download), is a tool that you can use to open a file when no other program will work. They can open many different file types, depending on the format. However, some files are incompatible with universal file viewers and will only open in binary file format. If none of the other options listed work, try a universal file viewer to open your BATCH file.

We have learned about variables and how to create the variables in batch files and how to manipulate them to perform different computational tasks. And also we are aware of the SET command and its flags to perform arithmetic calculations and take the inputs from the user. In this tutorial you will learn about batch file operators, if else, goto and for loop.

Batch File Operators

Immediately after this part the most important concept comes is the use of operators. Commands in batch programs also supports all the operators that other scripting languages support. So, I’m just giving an image that lists all the operators and their levels of precedence below. It also serves to have a quick review at all the operators with their description.

Form your own expressions for every operator using some variables and evaluate the results. It’s very easy, so I leave it as an exercise for you.

Assuming that now you are comfortable with operators and variables, we move on to the next topic.

A computer program is defined to be a block of code that takes some inputs to the user, performs the computation and returns the result of computation to the user. Conditional statements are very essential in any computer program. Conditional statements allow us to do different things in our program based on the conditions. Without these conditional statements, our code would do the same thing every time it is given an input. Conditionals are the best statements that we can write in a program. They allow the program to vary itself for a particular case.

Bath File IF Else

The primary decision making statements used in batch programs are, ‘IF’ ‘ELSE’ and ‘IF NOT’ versions. The syntax for the IF statement is similar to that of all the programming languages and it executes a block only if the guard condition is true in case it is false, the else block is executed. Similarly, control enters an IF NOT block only if the guard condition is false.

Batch File Goto

GOTO is a command used to branch from a particular point in the program unconditionally. GOTO statements also allow us to simulate the loops without the use of for statements in the program. Syntax of the goto command is

Here the label means any named section of the program. Consider the below programming example to understand the goto command.

Batch File For Loop

Bath files have a built in command to loop over a particular block of statements called for command. You can see the syntax of it in the above line. Let me consider an example to understand it in detail.

The first parameter is to be defined using a single character, for example the letter G ( you can use any letter you wish).

In each iteration of a FOR loop, the IN ( ….) clause is evaluated and %%G set to a different value. If this clause results in a single value then %%G is set equal to that value and the command is performed.
