Checking if a folder exists using a .bat file

[ForumBot]

For a file:

```
if exist yourfilename (
echo Yes
) else (
echo No
)

```

Replace **yourfilename** with the name of your file.

For a directory:

```
if exist yourfoldername\ (
echo Yes
) else (
echo No
)

```

Replace **yourfoldername** with the name of your folder.

A trailing backslash (`\`) seems to be enough to distinguish between directories and ordinary files.
