Using multiple IF statements in a batch file

Question

When using more than 1 IF statement, is there a special guideline that should be followed? Should they be grouped? Should I use parenthesis to wrap the command(s)?

Answer 1

You can structurize your batch file by using goto

IF EXIST somefile.txt goto somefileexists
goto exit

:somefileexists
IF EXIST someotherfile.txt SET var=...

:exit
