i.e

if not A = B and not B = C then

end if

how to convert the above to bat form..

IF A = B THEN GOTO END

IF B = C THEN GOTO END

REM Put your code here

:END

Alternately,

IF NOT A EQU B (

IF NOT B EQU C (

commands

))

IF NOT A EQU B (

IF NOT B EQU C (

GOTO END

) ELSE (

GOTO BC

) ELSE (

GOTO AB

)

IF NOT A EQU B (

IF NOT B EQU C (

GOTO END

) ELSE (

GOTO BC

) ELSE (

GOTO AB

)

That won't work. The ELSE needs to be on the same line as the IF statement.

Me, I always respected Groucho Marx for his one-liners ...

IF NOT "%A%"=="%B%" IF NOT "%C%"=="%D%" GOTO BAR

uhm, try doing an if /? in cmd before saying that else has to be on same line as if

I stand corrected, but your command is still incorrect. You are missing a )
