#132288 - 2005-01-11 11:50 PM Script to check for two files, then creating a file if not
Slacker Slacker Lurker Registered: 2005-01-11 Posts: 3 Loc: Shelton, CT	I am creating a script that needs to check for two files. If they exist it needs to terminate. However if they don't exist I need to create a blank file. This is what I have, but when I add the "OR" statement it does not work. What am I doing wrong and is there another way to create this file besides using the open command. IF EXIST( "C:\WINFISH\AUTOUPDT.FLG" )OR( "C\WINFISH\NOUPDT.FLG" ) GOTO END ELSE OPEN (1,"C:\WINFISH\AUTOUPDT.FLG",1) ENDIF :END Exit _________________________ Matt

So there is no need to GOTO around the ELSE statment.
