I have been writing a batch script that needs to check for the existence of a file and do some action, however the filenames changes daily. I was going use the IF Exist command with *.txt or whatver the extension is, but IF Exist does not support wildcards. Anyone know a way to use IF Exist with wildcards or some other mehtod?

It DOES ================ C:\temp>if exist *.bat echo y y ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

thanks mechanix, this might work for me.. Any other ideas are still welcome..

If you code is failing to brach, maybe it's some other problem. You can post your code. ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

Looks like its working. Thanks for your help!
