What are some advanced batch file commands I can use?

You can use commands like FOR, IF, and GOTO for advanced scripting. Would you like examples of each?

Yes, please provide examples for FOR and IF.

Sure! The FOR command can iterate over files: FOR %%f IN (*.txt) DO echo %%f. The IF command checks conditions: IF EXIST file.txt echo File exists.

How can I combine these commands in a script?

You can combine them like this: IF EXIST file.txt (FOR %%f IN (*.txt) DO echo %%f) to check for a file and then iterate.

Are there any best practices for writing batch files?

Yes, keep your scripts organized, use comments for clarity, and test them thoroughly to avoid errors.
