  • We always strive to write correct syntax, no need to include it in the question. It also makes an otherwise valid question look like a "give me teh codez" type question (which it sort of is, but there are worse). – BradleyDotNET Jun 18 '14 at 00:05
  • It would help if you had some relevant code that you have tried to use. – benRollag Jun 18 '14 at 00:22

An example:

@echo off
set "$file=the_file.txt"
if exist %$file% (exit) else (echo new>%$file%)
