Check if a file or folder exists with dos command

You can use the IF EXIST statement to check for the presence of a file or directory:

To check if the file "file.exe" exists in the directory temp:

IF EXIST c:\temp\file.exe ECHO File exists!

To check if a the directory "temp" exists (Notice the nul):

IF EXIST c:\temp\nul ECHO Directory exists!
