Using an OR in an IF statement WinXP Batch Script [duplicate]

Answer 1

See duplicate question IF... OR IF... in a windows batch file where following solution proposed by @Apostolos

FOR %%a in (item1 item2 ...) DO IF {condition_involving_%%a} {execute_command}  

e.g.

FOR %%a in (1 2) DO IF %var%==%%a ECHO TRUE

I found to be the most straight forward and simple to use case in my batch scripts.
