if statement

[daillest319]

very new to batch script and i was wondering how i can do a if statement. I'm trying to automate to copy a .txt file and if it exist and paste it in a folder....i want to copy the file and paste to new folder and then go on to the next step which is just starting a .exe. and if it doesn't exist i want the batch script to quit and not continue to the next line.

Code: Select all

@echo off
copy /y "C:\Test\test.txt" "C:\NewFolder\" 
PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 2000 >NUL 
start /d "C:\NewFolder\" Progam.exe

     PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 2000 >NUL 
     start /d "C:\NewFolder\" Progam.exe
     ) else (
     GOTO :EOF
)
