IfFile

Description

Begins the conditional execution of a block of commands only if the specified file exists.

Syntax

IfFile,file

Parameter

file: The path and filename to determine if the commands should be executed

Example

IfFile,\System\MyData.dat

 

any number of commands, executed if file exists

 

ElseIfFile

 

any number of commands, executed if file does not exist

 

EndIfFile

Notes

If the file already exists the commands are executed.

 

This test does not care if file is a file or directory.

 

Nesting is supported.

IfTerm

Description

Begins the conditional execution of a block of commands only if the terminal matches the

specified terminal type.

 

Syntax

IfTerm,terminal

Parameter

terminal: The terminal type to determine if the commands should be executed

Example

IfTerm,MX8

 

any number of commands

 

EndIfTerm

Notes

If the terminal type is identical (not case-dependent) the commands are executed.

 

Nesting with IfFile is supported. Nesting with IfTerm is meaningless.
