Details

Use the Exist method to verify if a file exist using batch file scripting.

For example,

IF EXIST C:\Stuff\HelloWorld.txt (
Del C:\Historian\HelloWorld.txt
)

The script will look in the Stuff folder located on the C drive for a file called HelloWorld.txt.

If the file exist, it will delete the file. If it does not exist, nothing will occur.

check existence
