Nested IF ( IF ( … ) ELSE( .. ) ) statement in batch

Question

I\'m trying to write an IF ELSE statement nested inside another IF statement. Here\'s what I have:

IF %dirdive%==1 ( 
    IF DEFINED lo         


        

Answer 1

Another solution is to use GOTO. Maybe not so elegant, but easy to understand.

IF %dirdive%==1 ( 
    IF DEFINED log GOTO logdefined ELSE GOTO nolog
)

:logdefined
ECHO %DATE%, %TIME% >> %log%
FOR /R %root1% %%G IN (.) DO (
    SET _G=%%G
    CALL :TESTEVERYTHING !_G:~0,-1! %root1% %root2% %log%
)
GOTO :end

:nolog
ECHO %DATE%, %TIME%
FOR /R %root1% %%G IN (.) DO (
    SET _G=%%G
    CALL :TESTEVERYTHINGnolog !_G:~0,-1! %root1% %root2%
)
GOTO :end
