Create folder with batch but only if it doesn't already exist

Question

Can anybody tell me how to do the following in in a Windows batch script? (*.bat):

• Create a folder only if it doesn\'t already exist

Answer 1

You can use:

if not exist "C:\VTS\" mkdir "C:\VTS"

You can also expand the code to replace any missing expected files.

if not exist "C:\VTS\important.file" echo. > "C:\VTS\important.file"
