Should be an easy one. I have made a batch that works but I think it contains overly long sentences. I had to play around with brackets but very quickly realized I didn't understand what I was doing. Any tips would be excellent.
Here is the code
IF "%deletetype%" == "prompt" (for /d /r "C:\Users" %%a in (*Folder*) do if exist "%%a" rmdir /s "%%a") ELSE (for /d /r "C:\Users" %%a in (*Folder*) do if exist "%%a" rmdir /s /q "%%a") IF "%deletetype%" == "prompt" (for /d /r "C:\Documents and Settings" %%a in (*Folder*) do if exist "%%a" rmdir /s "%%a") ELSE (for /d /r "C:\Documents and Settings" %%a in (*Folder*) do if exist "%%a" rmdir /s /q "%%a") As you can see it seems too long and as soon as I move ELSE anywhere or bracket it, the code breaks and I'm stuck. What could I do to break it up into smaller chunks. Thank you!
Thanks for all help here. I was wondering if I could apply this to other sentences that could do with shortening too. I tried with the line below but I'm out of my depth again. I wonder if you cant do that using the || (run if fail) && (run on success) characters? Maybe use a different conditioner?
msiexec.exe /norestart /qn /x {3EBE26E0-8630-4351-B18F-06AB4067AC49} || Echo Driver Already Removed or Not Exist! && (pause) && If "%drvtype%" == "grundig" (goto drivers) managed to do it with this...Thanks!!
msiexec.exe /norestart /qn /x {07A1C1F1-52A2-49F4-A413-FF9A4FC3EDB6} || ( Echo Olympus Driver Already Removed or Not Exist! Press Space Bar to Continue ) && pause>nul && (If "%drvtype%" == "olympus" (goto drivers) ) )
