Why not just do the mkdir each time? When it's not there, the mkdir will create it and when it is there, the mkdir becomes a no-op.
SET BackupDir=.\QueueManagerBackups\ REM SET MQSERVER=QM1.MS03.CHANNEL/TCP/MyServerName mkdir %BackupDir%\QM1_FOLDER saveqmgrc -m QM1 -f %BackupDir%\QM1_FOLDER\QM1_BACKUP.txt -R -- T.Rob -----Original Message----- From: Potkay, Peter M (PLC, IT) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 22, 2003 11:10 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: A little Windows Scripting help in relation to MS03 This works 100%: SET BackupDir=.\QueueManagerBackups\ REM SET MQSERVER=QM1.MS03.CHANNEL/TCP/MyServerName saveqmgrc -m QM1 -f %BackupDir%\QM1_BACKUP.txt -R This bombs because it can't find the folder called QM1_FOLDER (its not automatically created by the script) SET BackupDir=.\QueueManagerBackups\ REM SET MQSERVER=QM1.MS03.CHANNEL/TCP/MyServerName saveqmgrc -m QM1 -f %BackupDir%\QM1_FOLDER\QM1_BACKUP.txt -R My goal is that this script will try and put the output of the command into a folder called ..\QueueManagerBackups\QM1_FOLDER\, and if the QM1_FOLDER folder does not exist, create it and then stick in there the file QM1_BACKUP.txt. Since this script runs everyday, the next day it should gracefully handle the fact that the QM1_FOLDER is there. Any tips on how to do this? What would I do to the following line to always create the named folder (in this case QM1_FOLDER) if it didn't exist? saveqmgrc -m QM1 -f %BackupDir%\QM1_FOLDER\QM1_BACKUP.txt -R (I have hundreds of entries, so I don't want to have to go into ..\QueueManagerBackups and have to manually create QM1_FOLDER . . . QM999_FOLDER).
