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

Change IF DEFINED log to: IF EXIST log. The following works for me:

echo off
set log=log.txt
set /p dirdive= Enter a directory:
IF %dirdive%==1 ( 
    IF EXIST %log% (
        ECHO "in IF" %DATE%, %TIME% >> %log%
        FOR /R %root1% %%G IN (.) DO (
            SET _G=%%G
            CALL :TESTEVERYTHING !_G:~0,-1! %root1% %root2% %log%
        )
        GOTO :end
    ) ELSE ( 
        ECHO "in ELSE" %DATE%, %TIME%
        FOR /R %root1% %%G IN (.) DO (
            SET _G=%%G
            CALL :TESTEVERYTHINGnolog !_G:~0,-1! %root1% %root2%
        )
        GOTO :end
    )
)
:end
